Color filters based on different Fabry-Perot structures are investigated extensively, and incident angle dependency is an important characteristic in practical applications. Here, we investigated a color filter incorporating a Fabry-Perot structure, discussing its reflective angular sensitivity related to refractive index of its dielectric material. By finite difference time domain(FDTD) theory, the refractive index of the dielectric material is found to influence the angular sensitivity greatly while the optical thickness keeps constant. The simulated results shows that the higher the dielectric layer’s refractive index is, the more angular insensitive of the reflection will be obtained and a good angular insensitive will achieved when the refractive index is larger than 2.1. Finally, samples with different dielectric layer are fabricated in experiment and the measured results verify influence of the refractive index of dielectric layer on the spectra angular sensitivity, which is helpful for the application of color filter in color display, image sensors and decoration.
We numerically and analytically report an ultra-broadband near perfect absorber based on one-dimensional metal-dielectric-metal grating at visible light for TM polarization. A unit cell of this design is composed of metal-dielectric-metal grating, where the bottom metallic layer and the upper metallic coating are separated from each other by the intermediate dielectric grating. The absorber exhibits an average absorption of over 90% in the range 400-700nm. Moreover, they remain very high over a wide range of incident angle up to 45°.The electromagnetic field distributions are investigated, which reveals that this broadband absorption behavior is ascribed to the combination of surface plasmon resonance and cavity resonance. Furthermore, impedance calculations were carried out to explain the absorption behavior. The ultra-broadband near-perfect angle-robust absorber can be a good candidate for many fascinating applications, including solar-energy harvesting as well as producing artificial colors on a large scale substrate.
