Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Optics
  • Nanotechnology

Background:

  • Optical loss in silicon-based absorber devices hinders performance.
  • Dual-scale structures are increasingly researched for antireflective properties.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the optical response of dual-scale structures.
  • To propose and fabricate a novel nanoripple-cone structure for broadband antireflection.

Main Methods:

  • Finite difference time domain (FDTD) simulations to analyze optical response.
  • Fabrication of the nanoripple-cone structure using a femtosecond laser.

Main Results:

  • Micron cone structures show lower reflectivity than other micron structures.
  • The proposed nanoripple-cone structure exhibits low reflectivity across visible and near-infrared regions, even with varying incident angles.
  • Achieved high absorption (>98%) extending into the mid-infrared region.

Conclusions:

  • The dual-scale nanoripple-cone structure effectively reduces reflectivity and enhances absorption in silicon-based devices.
  • Femtosecond laser fabrication offers a cost-effective and direct method for creating these structures.
  • This work provides a pathway for developing wideband silicon-based absorbers with broad application potential.
