研究目的
To propose and numerically investigate a perfect broadband near-infrared absorber based on periodic array of four isosceles trapezoid prism (FITP) unit cell made of titanium (Ti) over a continuous silver film.
研究成果
The proposed broadband and polarization-independent absorber based on simple and all metallic metasurface achieves over 90% absorption in the spectrum ranging from 895 nm to 2269 nm under normal incidence. The absorber is independent of the polarization angles at normal incidence and maintains more than 80% high absorption up to the incident angle of ~45° at TM polarization. The broadband absorber may have potential applications in controllable thermal radiation and energy harvesting.
研究不足
The study is based on numerical simulations and lacks experimental validation. The absorption performance is sensitive to the geometric parameters of the nanostructures.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employs a finite-different time-domain (FDTD) method based on commercial software (FDTD Solutions, Lumerical, Canada) to investigate the absorption properties and mechanisms of the proposed absorber.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The structure consists of metallic array made of FITP unit cell over a continuous silver film on a silicon substrate.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Titanium (Ti) is used for the metasurface due to its high loss and stability in optical region. Silver (Ag) is selected as the bottom metallic layer.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The structure is illuminated by an incident light with electric field parallel to the x-axis. Periodic boundary conditions were performed on unit cell in the x and y plane to represent the behavior of an infinite array at normal incidence.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The absorption is calculated by A(λ) = 1 ? R(λ), where R(λ) is the reflection as functions of wavelength λ.
