| description | Optical wavelengths considered as the key source of electromagnetic waves from the sun, and metamaterial absorber (MMA) enables various applications for this region like real invisible cloaks, color imaging, magnetic resonance imaging, light trapping, plasmonic sensor, light detector, and thermal imaging applications. Contemplated those applications, a new wide-angle, polarization-insensitive MMA is presented in this study. The absorber was formatted with three layers that consisted of a sandwiched metal-dielectric-metal structure. This formation of metamaterial absorber showed a good impedance match with plasmonic resonance characteristics. The structure was simulated using the FIT and validated with the FEM. A variety of parametric studies were performed with the design to gain best physical dimension. The mechanism of absorption also explained immensely by various significant analysis. The design had average 96.77% absorption from wavelengths of 389.34 nm to 697.19 nm and a near-perfect absorption of 99.99% at a wavelength of 545.73 nm for TEM mode. For an ultra-wide bandwidth of 102 nm, the design exhibited above 99% absorbance. The proposed is wide-angle independent up to 60° for both TE and TM mode, which is useful for solar energy harvesting, solar cell, and solar thermophotovoltaics (STPV). This MMA can be used for an optical sensor or as a light detector. Moreover, this proposed design can be employed in some applications mentioned above. |
