High performance absorber is desirable for solar energy, photo detection and optical interconnects. Here an active tunable graphene metamaterials quad-band absorber is theoretically demonstrated. The designed absorber has four higher than 97% absorption peaks in terahertz and infrared range. This absorber consists of a graphene layer, a silica substrate and a metal reflective surface. Simulation demonstrates that absorbance peak can be adjusted by changing geometric parameters of the periodic array structure or the Fermi level of the graphene. Such devices may have potential application in active plasmonic sensor, Light detection, photo thermal conversion and optoelectronic devices.
In practical applications, the linear to circular (LTC) polarization conversion of electromagnetic waves is of great significance. In this work, we designed a broadband high-efficiency reflective LTC polarization converter with temperature control in the visible range. Each periodic unit of the LTC polarization converter is composed of a gold mirror, a dielectric layer, a wide L-shaped gold plate and a narrow anti-L-shaped VO2 strip. The results show that the conversion efficiency can reach 0.9 in the visible range, and the switch of polarization converter can be controlled by VO2. The linear to circular polarization converter has potential applications in stealth technology, electromagnetic measurement.
