Abstract
Experimental and theoretical studies of broadband metamaterial absorbers and their application for infrared spectroscopic gas molecules sensing are presented. We design a metamaterial absorber consisting of an array of conical helix gold structures and fabricated it by the use of electron beam lithography and dry etching techniques. Broadband absorptive properties of the proposed metamaterial absorber was confirmed both numerically and experimentally. In order to realize higher sensitivity on IR spectroscopy, three-dimensional vertical-oriented metal-insulator-metal (v-MIM) metamaterial absorber is also proposed. By using v-MIM metamaterial absorber, we successfully detected 20 ppm concentration of carbon dioxide and butane molecules with negligible background noise.
