From Solar Cells to Ocean Buoys: Wide-Bandwidth Limits to Absorption by Metaparticle Arrays

In this paper, we develop an approximate wide-bandwidth upper bound to the absorption enhancement in arrays of metaparticles, applicable to general wave-scattering problems and motivated here by ocean-buoy energy extraction. We show that general limits, including the well-known Yablonovitch result i...
