We experimentally demonstrate polarization-controlled multifrequency coherent perfect absorption in stereometamaterials with twisted asymmetrically split rings. The coupling effects in stereometamaterials lead to the mode hybridization and thus multiple electric and magnetic resonances. The coherent perfect absorptions of electric and magnetic modes in stereometamaterials have been verified to be individually switched on/off by an interferometric effect of two counter-propagating coherent beams. The alternation of two orthogonal polarization states enables direct modulation of the operation frequencies of coherent perfect absorptions in both microwave and optical metamaterials. The work provides an opportunity to manipulate coherent perfect absorption and is helpful to design tunable multifrequency absorbers.
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.
