description Nanostructured dielectric metamaterials have received extensive attention in the field of nanophotonics owing to their low radiative losses and coexisting electric and magnetic lattice resonance features. Unfortunately, suffering from the poor electromagnetic field localization and weak magnetic response in the typical dielectric metamaterials, it remains challenging to simultaneously realize ultra-narrow band perfect absorbance and intensified electromagnetic field resonances. Herein, we theoretically demonstrate a kind of dielectric metamaterials formed by dielectric cylindrical dimer array that supports magnetic lattice resonances. Benefiting from the collective diffraction coupling among the powerful magnetic dipole resonance in the dielectric dimer array, the proposed dielectric metamaterials synchronously manifest ultra-narrow spectral characteristics with bandwidth less than 8 nm, perfect absorbance amplitude as high as 99.7% and strong electric/magnetic field enhancement factor. The effects of the structure parameters on the optical properties of the proposed nanostructure are investigated based on numerical simulations. The linewidth of absorbance spectrum can be narrowed down to approximately 3 nm with optimal design. These excellent optical features supported by the dielectric dimer metamaterials can be explored as a high-efficiency refractive index sensor with sensitivity of 824 nm/RIU and figure of merit as high as 242 RIU−1. This work paves an exciting way for narrow band perfect absorbance and localized field enhancement, exhibiting tremendous enormous potential in biochemical sensing, surface enhanced spectroscopy, and nonlinear nanophotonics.
