Broadband Multi-patterned Metamaterial Absorber for Mid-Infrared Region
摘要
We present the design and analysis of a mid-infrared metamaterial absorber based on a metal–dielectric–metal (MDM) configuration. The unit cell consists of an outer frame featuring a top triangular section with a cut on the bottom left corner, an L-shaped boundary along the sides and bottom, and a central rectangle with an H-shaped cavity. Gold (Au) is used as a metallic material, while silicon carbide (SiC) serves as the dielectric layer. The absorption spectrum was computed using the finite element method-based COMSOL Multiphysics simulation software. The proposed design achieves over 98% absorption of incident light with a bandwidth of 0.7 µm in transverse electric mode. Additionally, the absorber demonstrates outstanding angular-dependent absorption characteristics, maintaining over 90% absorption in the 3.7- to 4.2-µm wavelength range for incident angles (φ) from
