Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of light absorption, in particular to an ultra-thin ultra-wideband perfect absorber independent of an incident angle and a polarization direction.
Background
The Perfect Absorber (PA) has important potential application prospects for optical communication, broadband thin-film heat emitters, thermophotovoltaic cells and photovoltaic cells. The traditional PA mostly adopts a large-scale assembly structure and has the defect of overlarge size. In 2008, Landy et al first proposed the concept of a surface plasmon electromagnetic metamaterial perfect absorber (MMPA). The metamaterial (MMS) is an artificial material which cannot be obtained in the nature, the refractive index, the dielectric constant and the magnetic permeability constant of the metamaterial can be adjusted and controlled at will, and most of work related to the metamaterial mainly aims at adjusting and controlling the real parts of the dielectric constant and the magnetic permeability. Landy et al designed a structure consisting of two independent metal elements to regulate the loss factor (imaginary part) of permittivity and permeability, the two metal elements being a ring electric field resonator and a metal wire, respectively, electric field coupling being provided by the ring electric field resonator, and magnetic field coupling being generated by the two metal elements being coupled to each other, electric field response being regulated by adjusting the size of the ring electric field resonator, and magnetic field response being regulated by adjusting the distance between the metal wire and the two metal elements. Thus, the electric field response and the magnetic field response can be separately regulated, so that the whole electric field and magnetic field can be absorbed simultaneously. The MMPA is designed to work in the microwave band (11.5 MHz) by the method, however, the MMPA has a plurality of defects, such as narrow working band (the absorptivity is about 0.4 MHz in the part above 0.9), sensitive incidence angle (the absorptivity exceeds 0.9 in plus or minus 5 degrees), and the like.
Since the first time that Landy et al designed MMPA, much work has been devoted to improving its performance, such as making it insensitive to angle of incidence and insensitive to polarization direction. However, these designs have a common drawback that the operating band is too narrow, which greatly limits their applications. Because the MMPA only has one group of electric field resonant cavities and magnetic field resonant cavities, the MMPA can only work in a narrow wave band, and in order to increase the working bandwidth of the MMPA, a plurality of structures with different sizes and different shapes are added in one structural unit so as to have a plurality of different resonant cavities. However, although these different resonant cavities allow the MMPA to operate at several different wavelengths or over a relatively long wavelength band, the coupling between these resonant cavities severely limits the effectiveness of the MMPA and, therefore, their absorption is much lower than those MMPAs that have only one set of electric and magnetic field resonant cavities but are capable of fully absorbing all of the electromagnetic radiation. Lee et al have added a number of resonant cavities operating at wavelengths close to each other to achieve perfect absorption in a broad band, which constitutes a relatively broad band of wavelengths, but which do not maintain high absorption in this broad band.
There are also MMPA designs that use a multi-layer structure to maintain high absorption over a broad band using the principle that different wavelengths of light are absorbed in different layers, which are too complex to be ultra-thin absorbers in applications.

An ultra-thin, incident angle-independent polarization direction-independent ultra-wideband perfect absorber 1000 in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
As shown in fig. 1 to 4, the ultra-thin incident angle-independent polarization direction-independent ultra-wideband perfect absorber 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a perfect absorber unit 100, the perfect absorber unit 100 including a substrate 10, an insulating layer 20, a first reflective layer 30, a high refractive index material layer 40, and a second reflective layer 50.
Specifically, the number of the perfect absorber units 100 is at least one, and the perfect absorber unit 100 includes: the reflective film comprises a substrate 10, an annular insulating layer 20 arranged on the substrate 10, a first reflecting layer 30 arranged on the insulating layer 20, a cavity with an open upper end formed by the insulating layer 20, the first reflecting layer 30 and the substrate 10, a high-refractive-index material layer 40 which is a visible light waveband high-refractive-index material and is arranged on the substrate 10 and located in the cavity, the high-refractive-index material layer 40 which is a centrosymmetric structure, and a second reflecting layer 50 arranged on the high-refractive-index material layer 40.
In other words, the ultra-thin ultra-wideband perfect absorber 1000 with independent incidence angle and independent polarization direction comprises at least one perfect absorber unit 100, the perfect absorber unit 100 comprises a substrate 10, an annular insulating layer 20 is arranged on the substrate 10, the insulating layer 20 can be an insulating medium with low refractive index, low real part and no imaginary part, an annular first reflecting layer 30 can be arranged on the insulating layer 20, the shape of the first reflecting layer 30 can be matched with the shape of the insulating layer 20, the first reflecting layer 30 and the substrate 10 enclose a cavity with an open upper end, a high refractive index material layer 40 is arranged in the cavity, the high refractive index material layer 40 is a high refractive index material in the visible light band and has high refractive index, high real part and zero imaginary part, the lower end face of the high refractive index material layer 40 is connected with the substrate 10, the side walls are respectively connected with the insulating layer 20 and the first reflecting layer 30, the high refractive index material, a second reflective layer 50 may be disposed on the high refractive index material layer 40, and an upper end surface of the high refractive index material layer 40 is connected to the second reflective layer 50.
It should be noted that the ultra-surface material (MSM) is an ultra-thin planar material, which is a general term for a series of small-sized optical materials, and the two-dimensional or quasi-two-dimensional material makes it possible to control the light propagation by using an ultra-thin material element. The perfect absorber 1000 of the embodiment of the invention is an ultrathin super-surface perfect absorber (MSMPA), and has an important significance in converting the heat or electric field of light into energy for perfect absorption of light. Its absorption is as high as above 0.933 in the whole visible range (400nm to 760 nm). Unlike the conventional MMPA, which has a very high height, the msmspa according to the embodiment of the present invention has a height of only one sixth to one quarter wavelength, and has advantages of a thin thickness and a high absorption rate in the entire visible light range.
Therefore, according to the ultra-thin ultra-wideband perfect absorber 1000 with an incident angle independent of polarization direction, the structure of combining the insulating layer 20, the high refractive index material layer 40, the first reflective layer 30 and the second reflective layer 50 is adopted, the high refractive index material layer 40 with a centrosymmetric structure is adopted, good optical performance in the whole visible light band is achieved, the defects of low efficiency, narrow bandwidth, small incident angle range, polarization correlation and the like in the traditional absorption optical element can be effectively avoided, perfect absorption independent of polarization direction in the whole visible light band (400nm to 760nm) is achieved, and the ultra-thin ultra-wideband perfect absorber has the advantages of being simple in structure, ultra-thin, high in absorption rate in the whole visible light range and the like.
According to one embodiment of the invention, the substrate 10 may be SiO2And (3) a layer.
Alternatively, the insulating layer 20 may be SiO2The insulating layer 20 may be formed by etching, and the insulating layer 20 may also be air.
Preferably, the high refractive index material layer 40 may be a GaN layer.
Alternatively, the first reflective layer 30 and/or the second reflective layer 50 may be a Pt reflective layer.
In some embodiments of the present invention, the cavity may be substantially square shaped and the shape of the high refractive index material layer 40 may be adapted to the shape of the cavity. It should be noted that other geometries symmetrical about the horizontal and vertical axes can achieve similar performance, achieving polarization independent absorption.
Further, the second reflective layer 50 conforms to the shape of the cross-section of the high refractive index material layer 40.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, the sum of the height of the insulating layer 20 and the height of the first reflective layer 30 is equal to the height of the high refractive index material layer 40. That is, the high refractive index material layer 40 has a height H and is composed of the insulating layer 20 (SiO)2) And a first reflective layer 30(Pt), wherein the insulating layer 20 is at a lower height H1, and the first reflective layer 30 is at an upper height H2, H1+ H2.
Further, the height of the second reflective layer 50 is equal to the height of the first reflective layer 30, i.e., the height of the second reflective layer 50 above the high refractive index material layer 40 is H2.
In some embodiments of the present invention, the number of the perfect absorber units 100 may be plural and connected to each other, and the plural perfect absorber units 100 may be located on the same plane, wherein the plural high refractive index material layers 40 are disposed at equal intervals and the vertexes of two adjacent high refractive index material layers 40 are disposed opposite to each other.
In other words, the substrate 10 may have a square cross-section, the width of the substrate 10 may be set to P, the adjacent substrates 10 are connected to each other, the apexes of the high refractive index material layers 40 on the adjacent substrates 10 are disposed to face each other, the apexes of the second reflective layers 50 on the adjacent substrates 10 are also disposed to face each other, and the width of the second reflective layers 50 may be set to a.
The optical performance of the perfect absorber 1000 according to the embodiment of the present invention can be simulated by using Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) (Finite difference time Domain) Solution), since the structure of the perfect absorber unit 100 is the same in two vertical directions, and thus it is completely independent of the polarization direction of the incident light during operation, so that the complete absorption performance of the perfect absorber 1000 can be known only by considering the case that the polarized light is incident on the msmspa, in the simulation test, as shown in fig. 7, a beam of light is incident on the structure of the perfect absorber unit 100 from the bottom of the substrate 10 along the Z direction, the incident angle is initially set to 0, and the optimized structure parameters are: fig. 5 shows simulation results of H1 ═ H2 ═ 59nm, H ═ 118nm, P ═ 220nm, and a ═ 149nm, and the dotted line below line B in fig. 5 is 0.9 as a reference line. The light absorption can be calculated from 1-R-T, where T is the transmittance and R is the reflectance, and can be directly obtained from the simulation results. As can be seen from FIG. 5, the average absorption rate in the visible wavelength band (400nm to 760nm) was as high as 0.9785, showing excellent absorption properties.
In addition, the perfect absorber unit 100 also has excellent absorption performance at wide angle incidence, and the influence of the incidence angle on the absorption performance is shown in fig. 6a, it should be noted that the absorption curves in the range of 0 to 60 ° have approximately the same trend, approximately approximate curves, and the adjacent curves have overlapping regions, when the incidence angle is increased to 70 °, the absorption of the perfect absorber unit 100 in the whole visible light band range is still high, and when the incidence angle is increased to 80 °, the perfect absorber unit 100 also has excellent absorption performance in the visible light wavelength range except for the very short wavelength range. As shown in fig. 6b, at some wavelengths (e.g., 658 nm), the absorption remains around 0.9 when the angle of incidence is increased to 80 °, thus showing the excellent angular properties of the perfect absorber 1000.
When the ultra-thin ultra-wideband perfect absorber 1000 with independent incidence angle and independent polarization direction according to the embodiment of the present invention is used, the insulating layer 20 and the first reflective layer 30 form a double-layer structure, i.e., a silicon dioxide/platinum double-layer structure, and the silicon dioxide/platinum double-layer structure can be used as an attached nonmagnetic layer consisting of a layer of metal and a layer of medium, and the dielectric constant of the attached nonmagnetic layer is negative, so that the attached nonmagnetic layer can be regarded as a metamaterial with a negative dielectric constant. Such a two-layer material structure is shaped by a rectangular block of another dielectric material, namely a layer 40 of high refractive index material (gallium nitride). The composite structure can completely localize light therein, and when the light beam propagates in the double-layer structure, the light beam will experience a slight displacement parallel to the boundary each time the light beam reaches the boundary of the double-layer structure and the rectangular block of the medium, and the displacement can be made to be equal to and opposite to the component parallel to the boundary of the displacement during the propagation of the light beam from one interface to the other interface by properly setting the structural parameters. Thus, the beam, although always propagating, is not stopped in the direction parallel to the boundary and cannot escape from the composite structure. However, for a single structural parameter, only a single wavelength of light beam can be confined therein. The distance between two adjacent second reflection layers 50 in the ultra-thin ultra-wide band perfect absorber 1000 with the independent incidence angle and the independent polarization direction corresponds to the width of a double-layer material structure, so that the wavelength of a light beam which can be localized is directly determined, and the smaller the width is, the shorter the wavelength of the light beam which is localized is. When two layers of material are included in the structure with different widths (e.g., different widths of different regions between two adjacent second reflective layers 50), multiple wavelengths or even a continuous length of light beam can be successfully confined in the structure.
As shown in fig. 7, light of different wavelengths is localized at different positions, light is incident from below the double-layer structure in a direction of the z-axis, a distance between two adjacent second reflective layers 50 is equal to d, and light of different wavelengths is localized at different positions of d. Wherein, the short wavelength light is localized in the region with smaller d, and the long wavelength light is located in the region with longer d. As shown in fig. 8a to 8h, the electric field patterns inside the structure can further explain the operation principle of the MSPA, fig. 8a, 8b, 8c and 8d are x-y sections (just at the interface between the insulating layer 20 and the first reflective layer 30) at wavelengths of z 59nm at 400nm, 500nm, 600nm and 700nm, respectively, and fig. 8e, 8f, 8g and 8h are x-z sections at which the electric field is strongest at wavelengths of 400nm, 500nm, 600nm and 700nm, respectively, where y is 0 in fig. 8e, y is 20nm in fig. 8f, y is 40nm in 8g and y is 70nm in 8h, respectively, and thus it can be seen that light with shorter wavelength is localized in a region where d is smaller.
