Wide-angle perfect absorber/thermal emitter in the THz regime
arXiv:0807.2479 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.79.033101
Abstract
We show that a perfect absorber/thermal emitter exhibiting an absorption peak of 99.9% can be achieved in metallic nanostructures that can be easily fabricated. The very high absorption is maintained for large angles with a minimal shift in the center frequency and can be tuned throughout the visible and near-infrared regime by scaling the nanostructure dimensions. The stability of the spectral features at high temperatures is tested by simulations using a range of material parameters.
