Near Perfect Absorber for Long-Wave Infrared Based on Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance.

ABSTRACT: In recent years, broadband absorbers in the long-wave infrared (LWIR) spectrum have shown great scientific value and advantages in some areas, such as thermal imaging and radiation modulation. However, designing a broadband absorber with an ultra-high absorption rate has always been a challenge. In this paper, we design a near perfect absorber that is highly tunable, angle insensitive, and has polarization independence for LWIR. By using multi-mode localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of a surface metal structure, the absorber achieves a very high absorption average of 99.7% in wavelengths from 9.7 μm to 12.0 μm. For incident light, the meta-structure absorber exhibits excellent polarization independence. When the incident angle increases from 0° up to 60°, the absorption rate mainta
