▎ 摘  要

In this paper, a bi-functional tunable reflector/absorber device using an assembly of graphene-coated cylindrical wires, backed by a thermally controlled phase change material, is proposed. The reflection coefficient of the graphene-coated wire-grating manifests multiple resonances, originating from the hybridized excitation of localized surface plasmons in the graphene shells. The first plasmonic resonance (with the order of two), in the free-standing configuration, shows tunable near-perfect reflection while the second plasmonic resonance (with the order of three), in the reflector-backed array, exhibits near-perfect absorption. Because of the metal-insulator transition in the phase change material, it is feasible to switch between these two functionalities using a VO2 back layer. Moreover, the high-quality factor of the absorption band (Q similar to 128.86) is due to its Fano line shape, leading to a narrow bandwidth. Thus, the absorbing mode can be possibly used for refractive index sensing with the sensitivity of S similar to 9000 nm/RIU (refractive index unit) and figure of merit of FOM similar to 104 RIU-1. In the proposed structure, different optical, material, and geometrical parameters affect the optical response of the operating bands, offering a flexible design.
