Wide bandwidth absorption in the MWIR region using a thin and simple metamaterial absorber

Abstract

In this study, metamaterial absorber structures that operate in the mid-wave infrared (MWIR) region are presented. The advantage of the design stems from the high absorptance in the region of interest and the ease of fabrication. Fabrication stage is facilitated by large in-plane geometric dimensions of the metamaterial pattern and small thickness of the full absorber geometry.
