▎ 摘  要

A multi-layer absorber using multi-bias arrays of graphene is proposed. The design methodology using the equivalent circuit model and matching concept is described. A heavy optimization process is performed to optimize bias values for different functionality. Leveraging, increased control parameters due to multi-bias scheme and simple circuit model representation, two operational modes are achieved as wide-band and multiband absorption. The proposed absorber can perfectly absorb THz incident waves between 5.2 THz - 6.3 THz in wide-band mode while shows perfect absorption response in 5.3 THz, 7.5 THz, 8 THz, 8.5 THz, 9 THz, and 9.5 THzin multi-band operational mode. Besides, response dependency to layers thicknesses, electron relaxation time, chemical potentials, and incident angle are reported to express acceptable sensitivity of the device. Such a reconfigurable absorber is in demand for several applications, ranging from medical imaging to indoor communication.
