Design of mid-infrared ultra-wideband metallic absorber based on circuit theory
نویسندگان
چکیده
An ultra-broadband absorber of light is proposed by using periodic array of ultra-thin metallic ribbons on top of a lossless quarter-wavelength dielectric spacer placed on a metallic reflector. We propose a fully analytical circuit model for the structure, and then the absorber is duly designed based on the impedance matching concept. As a result, normalized bandwidth of 99.5% is realized by the proposed absorbing structure in mid-infrared regime. Performing a numerical optimization algorithm, we could also reach to normalized bandwidth of 103%. & 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

In this paper, the periodic double-layer graphene ribbon arrays placed near a metallic ground plate coated by a dielectric layer are proposed and analyzed by the coupled-mode theory (CMT) to predict the perfect absorption response in the mid-infrared region. Numerical simulations of the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method confirm this effect and give the underlying physical origin. The ...

A novel design of metamaterial (MTM) based absorber with reduced cell size is proposed in this paper. The absorber is designed to operate in the mid infrared (IR) regime using gold nano-pillar inclusions embedded in a dielectric spacer. The absorption band can be controlled by adjusting the nano-pillar’s properties. Numerical simulations have been conducted to investigate the effect of these in...
