Abstract:
Broadband optical absorption structures in the near infrared by coupling monolayer-graphene with periodical metal structures are proposed and demonstrated numerically. Optical absorption of graphene with over-50%-absorption bandwidth up to hundreds of nanometer caused by magnetic dipole resonances and magnetic coupling effect are investigated in detail, and the demonstrated bandwidths are one order higher than those caused by dielectric guiding mode resonances. In addition, the influences of geometrical parameters of structures are fully analyzed and these demonstrated structures show angular-insensitive absorption for oblique incidence in a large angular range. The demonstrated absorption structures in this work provide new design ideas in the realization of advanced graphene-based optoelectronic devices.
