Abstract
Graphene, an atomically thin carbon sheet, has drawn significant attention in many fields because of its unique electronic and optical properties. Graphene is a potential candidate for plasmonic metamaterial absorbers and emitters because of its optical tunability and extreme thinness. We have previously demonstrated graphene Salisbury screen metasurfaces. Although the absorption wavelength of such metasurfaces can be controlled by varying the graphene patch size, the absorbance is insufficient for practical applications. In this study, therefore, multilayer graphene metamaterial absorbers (MGMAs) were theoretically investigated in the middle- to long-wavelength infrared (IR) region. The MGMAs consist of graphene layers alternating with insulator layers formed on a bottom reflector. The spectral absorbance was calculated using the rigorous coupled-wave analysis method. The calculation results demonstrated that a high absorption of ~100% can be achieved because of the multiple plasmonic resonance between each graphene layer and the bottom reflector. The absorption wavelength can be controlled by regulating the graphene pattern size because of the plasmonic resonance of graphene. Furthermore, the absorption wavelength can be tuned by controlling the chemical potential of graphene, which allows for the development of electrically tunable wavelength-selective IR absorbers and emitters. These results will contribute to the development of high-performance wavelength-tunable graphene-based IR detectors and emitters.
