We numerically and experimentally investigated dual-band absorption of sandwich-structure metamaterials which include periodic metal coupled rings at the front separated from the metal plane at the back by a dielectric layer. The properties are demonstrated in both GHz and mid-IR regimes of electromagnetic (EM) wave. The dual-band perfect absorber with polarization independence is observed under normal incidence. In order to understand the EM properties of dual-band perfect absorber, the plasmonic excitation was clarified for both peaks. Finally, by connecting the rings, the perfect-absorption peaks can be controlled with the polarization angle of incident EM wave.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
