Metamaterials (MM), artificial materials engineered to have properties that may not be found in nature, have been widely explored since the first theoretical(1) and experimental demonstration(2) of their unique properties. MMs can provide a highly controllable electromagnetic response, and to date have been demonstrated in every technologically relevant spectral range including the optical(3), ...

In this paper, wide-angle infrared perfect absorption has been demonstrated by using a double-layer graphene strip grating coupled with silicon dioxide grating. Numerical simulation of the finite-difference time-domain method indicates that can be achieved due to effective impedance matching, and all incident electromagnetic energy is confined in Al 2 O 3 layer between silver substrate Dual-ban...

The dissipative electromagnetic energy absorption of tailored metamaterials can be exploited to improve the spectral sensitivity and selectivity of thermal detectors. The desired detector characteristics are engineered by tuning the singleor multiband absorption by resonance frequency, magnitude, and spectral bandwidth, strongly depending on the geometrical design of metamaterials. Here, the op...
