    Area of Science:

    • Metamaterials
    • Terahertz Technology
    • Nanophotonics

    Background:

    • Metamaterial perfect absorbers (MPAs) are crucial for various optical applications.
    • Vanadium dioxide (VO2) offers tunable electromagnetic properties, making it suitable for dynamic absorbers.
    • Existing VO2-based absorbers often have limitations in bandwidth or tunability.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To design and simulate a dynamically adjustable ultra-wideband metamaterial perfect absorber (MPA).
    • To investigate the absorption characteristics of the MPA across a wide range of terahertz frequencies.
    • To explore the tunability of the absorber's performance by altering VO2 conductivity.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized a metamaterial structure comprising three resonance rings of VO2 and a metal ground layer.
    • Employed simulation to analyze absorption bandwidth, peak intensity, and angular dependence.
    • Applied interference cancellation and impedance matching theories for structural optimization.

    Main Results:

    • Achieved an ultra-wideband absorption exceeding 90% over a 3.30 THz range (2.34–5.64 THz).
    • Demonstrated continuous tunability of absorption intensity from 4% to 100% by varying VO2 conductivity.
    • Observed wide-angle absorption for both TE and TM polarized waves.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed VO2-based MPA exhibits superior performance in bandwidth and tunability compared to previous reports.
    • The design leverages structural optimization for enhanced absorption efficiency.
    • The absorber shows significant potential for applications in terahertz modulating, sensing, and imaging.
