▎ 摘 要
This paper reports a new design of a broadband absorber composed of graphene, dielectric, and gold layers. The designed absorber has four absorbent modes close to each other, which results in the formation of broadband absorption. The relative bandwidth, a key parameter to assess the bandwidth improvement, shows a significant increase in the proposed design compared to similar structures published in recent years. The numerical results also reveal this metamaterial absorber can be used for applications in the far-infrared frequency range due to choosing optimized dimensions and the graphene Fermi level. Unlike other graphene-based metamaterials, which require complicated structures to be able to attain broadband absorption, the physical structure of the proposed design has a relatively simple fabrication process. For further investigations, the effect of split geometry on the absorption spectrum is studied. Also, the use of graphene in this metamaterial absorber provides dynamic adjustability through electrostatic doping in order to tune the amount of absorption. This characteristic has been studied by changing the graphene Fermi level. This feature can be widely used in electro-absorption switches and modulators.
