Plasmonic absorbers have received considerable attention because of their promising applications in solar cells, controllable thermal emission, and infrared detection. Most proposed plasmonic absorbers are fabricated with a precisely designed surface-pattern, which require complex manufacturing process and are costly. Herein, we propose a simple plasmonic absorber composed of a triple-layer T i / S i O 2 / T i N nanosystem. The maximal absorption reaches 99.8% from 1554 nm to 1565 nm, and an average absorption of 95.3% is achieved in the long-wave near-infrared range (from 1100 nm to 2500 nm). The synergistic effect of the upper surface plasmon resonance and the Fabry–Perot resonance in the T i / S i O 2 / T i N cause the high absorption. Additionally, the effects of the incident angle, polarization state, structural materials, and geometric parameters on the absorption performance are investigated in detail. The proposed near-infrared absorber has potential application prospects in solar collectors, thermal emitters, and solar cells, owing to its high absorption, ultra-broadband bandwidth, insensitivity to incident angle and polarization state, low cost, and simple preparation process.
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.
