Abstract
In this paper, an optically transparency ultrawideband absorber with high angular stability is designed. The proposed absorber is composed of two different materials with indium thin oxide (ITO) conductive films and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) substrates. With the aid of a stacked structure design, the absorber has a 90% absorption band from 5 to 43.5 GHz and the fractional bandwidth reaches 158.7%. Also, for the TE mode, the absorption remains stable with the oblique incident angles reaching 50°. And similar angular stability can be observed for the TM mode from 0° to 70°. Besides, the thickness of the absorber is only 0.092 wavelength and transmittance within the visible band is 57.3%. For further verification, a prototype is fabricated and measured. Good agreements between the simulated and the measured results can be observed.
期刊介绍:
The Optical Society (OSA) publishes high-quality, peer-reviewed articles in its portfolio of journals, which serve the full breadth of the optics and photonics community.
Optics Letters offers rapid dissemination of new results in all areas of optics with short, original, peer-reviewed communications. Optics Letters covers the latest research in optical science, including optical measurements, optical components and devices, atmospheric optics, biomedical optics, Fourier optics, integrated optics, optical processing, optoelectronics, lasers, nonlinear optics, optical storage and holography, optical coherence, polarization, quantum electronics, ultrafast optical phenomena, photonic crystals, and fiber optics. Criteria used in determining acceptability of contributions include newsworthiness to a substantial part of the optics community and the effect of rapid publication on the research of others. This journal, published twice each month, is where readers look for the latest discoveries in optics.
