Abstract
The demand for optical absorption devices with high efficiency and wide bandwidth is rising. However, current methods like CPA and ENZ media with lossy dopants achieve perfect absorption only at specific frequencies or very narrow bands, limiting their broader use.Thus, broadening the operating bandwidth of high absorption is crucial for designing high-performance optical absorption devices. In this study, the relationship between the number of dopants and the resonant bandwidth of the doped ENZ medium structure was thoroughly analyzed. The results thus obtained show that the resonant bandwidth of the whole structure significantly widened as the number of dopants increased, thus expanding the bandwidth of high absorption of this structure. In addition, a multi-layer Ag/SiC nanofilm structure filled with dopants was used to design a light absorption device insensitive to the angle of incidence, achieving nearly 100 % absorption efficiency at a wavelength of 430 nm with a good working bandwidth.
