Absorbance Enhancement of Monolayer MoS${}_2$ in a Perfect Absorbing System

Abstract

We reveal numerically and experimentally that dielectric resonance can enhance the absorbance and emission of monolayer MoS${}_2$. By quantifying the absorbance of the Si disk resonators and the monolayer MoS${}_2$ separately, a model taking into account of absorbance as well as quantum efficiency modifications by the dielectric disk resonators successfully explains the observed emission enhancement under the normal light incidence. It is demonstrated that the experimentally observed emission enhancement at different pump wavelength results from the absorbance enhancement, which compensates the emission quenching by the disk resonators. In order to further maximize the absorbance value of monolayer MoS${}_2$, a perfect absorbing structure is proposed. By placing a Au mirror beneath the Si nanodisks, the incident electromagnetic power is fully absorbed by the hybrid monolayer MoS${}_2$-disk system. It is demonstrated that the electromagnetic power is re-distributed within the hybrid structure and 53\% of the total power is absorbed by the monolayer MoS${}_2$ at the perfect absorbing wavelength.
