Abstract
In this work, we propose a metamaterial perfect absorber based on the toroidal dipole mode. A nanopore is introduced in the center of GaP nanopixel, and a Si nanodisk is placed in it as the pattern layer. The dielectric layer comprising of SiO2 is on top of the substrate of Au. The finite difference time domain (FDTD) method was used to numerically simulate the metamaterial absorber, in which the absorption peak appeared at 1255.3 nm with a peak value of 99.6 % and a Q factor of 154.4. This study also demonstrated the high sensitivity of 339.6 nm/RIU to the environmental refractive index, surpassing previously reported designs and highlighting the potential applications of refractive index sensing. The proposed composite structure narrowband absorber based on Si and GaP has great application potential in perfect absorption, refractive index sensing and nonlinear photonics.
期刊介绍:
This journal establishes a dedicated channel for physicists, material scientists, chemists, engineers and computer scientists who are interested in photonics and nanostructures, and especially in research related to photonic crystals, photonic band gaps and metamaterials. The Journal sheds light on the latest developments in this growing field of science that will see the emergence of faster telecommunications and ultimately computers that use light instead of electrons to connect components.
