Selective broadband absorption by mode splitting for radiative cooling
Abstract:
A plasmonic-photonic structure based on colloidal lithography was designed for a scalable radiative cooling system and its absorption properties were theoretically investigated. The structure comprises a SiO2 core, which is on top of an Au reflector and partially covered by an indium tin oxide (ITO) shell. This simple and scalable structure possesses a strong selective absorption in the primary atmospheric transparency window (8-13 µm). The strong selective absorption is attributed to a mode splitting of the localized surface plasmon (LSP) of the ITO shell. To understand the mechanisms of the mode splitting, a quantitative analysis was conducted using a coupled-oscillator model and a coupled-dipole method. The analysis revealed that the mode splitting is induced by a strong coupling between the LSP of the ITO shell and a magnetic dipole Mie resonance of the SiO2 core.
