研究目的
To develop a novel quad-spectral perfect metamaterial absorber for terahertz frequencies using a double-layer stacked resonance structure, addressing the limitations of existing multispectral absorbers in terms of fabrication complexity and lack of new resonances.
研究成果
The proposed double-layer stacked metamaterial structure successfully achieves quad-spectral perfect absorption in the terahertz range through the excitation of fundamental and third-order resonances. It offers advantages such as polarization insensitivity and simplicity compared to existing designs. The mechanism allows for extension to more spectral bands with additional layers, making it promising for applications in sensing, imaging, and stealth technology. Future work should focus on experimental fabrication and testing to validate the simulations.
研究不足
The study is based on numerical simulations, which may not fully capture real-world fabrication challenges and material imperfections. The absorber's performance is sensitive to structural parameters, and practical implementation might face issues with precise manufacturing of thin layers and alignment. Additionally, the terahertz frequency range may impose constraints on experimental validation and application scalability.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employs numerical simulations based on finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) methods to design and analyze a metamaterial absorber unit cell consisting of two layers of square gold patches and insulator dielectric slabs backed with a gold substrate. The design leverages the overlap of fundamental and third-order resonances to achieve quad-spectral absorption.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The unit cell parameters are defined with specific dimensions (e.g., periodicity P = 65 μm, patch lengths l1 = 50 μm, l2 = 61 μm, dielectric thicknesses t1 = 7 μm, t2 = 3 μm, gold thickness 0.4 μm, dielectric constant 3(1 + i0.06)). Data is generated through simulations under normally incident plane wave illumination.

Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
4. Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow: Simulations are set up with periodic boundary conditions in x and y directions, perfectly matched layers in the z direction. Absorption is calculated using A = 1 - T - R, with T ≈ 0 due to the gold substrate and R minimized by impedance matching.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
Absorption spectra are analyzed to identify resonance peaks. Magnetic field distributions are examined to understand the physical mechanisms. Parameter sweeps (e.g., thickness variations, polarization angles) are conducted to study dependencies.
