Mid-Infrared optical absorber based on anisotropic black phosphorus and magnesium fluoride by Abdulkawi, Wazie M., Aladadi, Yosef T., Al-Moliki, Yahya Mohammed, Alresheedi, Mohammed Thamer, Mahdi, Mohd Adzir, Abas, Ahmad Fauzi, Ng, Eng Khoon

“…BP has a sufficiently large electronic bandgap, and its high carrier mobility allows for efficient free-carrier absorption in the mid-infrared regimes. Magnesium fluoride is an ideal candidate for the mid-infrared absorber, providing optical transparency, efficient absorption, and antireflection properties due to its low refractive index. …”
