▎ 摘  要

A wavelength tunable perfect absorber with graphene-hexagonal gold (Au) cylinder array on a ground plate is investigated theoretically. The interactions between electromagnetic (EM) waves and monolayer graphene are analyzed through the field distributions and spectral responses in detail. The finite-difference-time-domain (FDTD) method is used to investigate the tunable properties of the absorber. It is demonstrated that in an optimized configuration, monolayer graphene can interact with light via critical coupling, and the absorptance can be greatly enhanced and reach to 100% for both transverse magnetic (TM) and transverse electronic (TE) polarizations. Furthermore, the influence of geometrical parameters of the structure on the response of the hybrid structure is studied. It is expected that the proposed graphene perfect absorbers can be applied for many applications in the visible (VIS) and the near-infrared (NIR) spectral ranges such as wavelength selective infrared photodetectors and plasmonic sensors.
