Abstract

Highlights: Based on the unique wet etching technology, we have experimentally prepared this inverted pyramid type all-dielectric absorber. Through experimental measurement, the consistency of the theoretical design and experimental test was confirmed. Based on the structural diffraction analysis and electromagnetic field distribution characteristics, we have deeply explored the physical mechanism of wave absorption of the designed structure, and revealed the dual physical mechanism of electromagnetic wave diffraction conversion and resonance absorption. Using the anti-reflection interface characteristics of the inverted pyramid microstructure, the designed absorber can achieve 100% perfect absorption in the range of 1.5THz to 1.7THz. Abstract: In order to improve the absorption efficiency and absorption bandwidth, we propose an inverted pyramid type all-dielectric absorber. Using the anti-reflection interface characteristics of the inverted pyramid microstructure, the designed absorber can achieve 100% perfect absorption in the range of 1.5THz to 1.7THz. Based on the structural diffraction analysis and electromagnetic field distribution characteristics, we have deeply explored the physical mechanism of wave absorption of the designed structure, and revealed the dual physical mechanism of electromagnetic wave diffraction conversion and resonance absorption.
