Abstract
In this paper, we design a near-infrared metasurface perfect absorber. The absorber consists of a substrate, a chromium(Cr) layer and a four-layer nanocirlce array. The chromium(Cr) layer is on the silicon dioxide(SiO2) substrate, and the four-layer nanocircle array on the top, which is composed of silicon(Si), magnesium fluoride(MgF2), chromium(Cr) and gallium(GaAs) nanocircles with the total thickness of 880nm. The absorption is above 0.913 in the absorption band, where the top absorption is 0.991 and the average absorption is 0.963. Due to the fully symmetric structure, the absorber is not affected by polarization. It can be observed that as the angle of incidence varies from 0° to 60°, the average absorption rate of the absorber does not change significantly. This data indicates the structure's extreme insensitivity to the angle of incident light. Our designed near-infrared metasurface perfect absorber is of good absorption performance and great application prospect in optical communication, broadband thin-film thermal emitter, thermal photovoltaic cell and solar cell. In addition, the high absorption performance of the absorber is insensitive to the tolerance of paramaters which is one of the attraction of practical application.
