• 摘要: 远红外波段在红外隐身、热成像等领域中具有潜在的应用价值。基于多形态堆叠结构特征,设计一种覆盖远红外光谱的宽波段超材料吸收器。吸收器结构由双层Ti-Si3N4星形与双层Ti-Si3N4矩形组成。采用时域有限差分方法分析吸收器的吸收特性和吸收机理。研究结果表明,所设计的吸收器在远红外波段(6~17 µm)具有较优的吸收特性,以吸收率超90%计算,其吸收带宽为10.24 µm。吸收器既具有显著的偏振不敏感特性,同时在TM和TE模式下60°斜入射角度时平均吸收率可以保持在91%和75%,显示出一定的宽角度吸收特性。机理分析发现,主要由表面等离子体共振、局域表面等离子体共振和传播表面等离子体共振的协同效应共同主导吸收器的高吸收和宽波段。所设计的吸收器具备的优良吸收特性在热成像、传感技术、红外隐身等方面具有一定的潜在应用价值。

       

      Abstract: The far-infrared band has potential applications in fields such as infrared stealth and thermal imaging. Based on the characteristics of multi-morphology stacked structures, a broadband metamaterial absorber covering the far-infrared spectrum was designed. The absorber structure is composed of double-layered Ti-Si3N4 star-shaped and double-layered Ti-Si3N4 rectangular units. The finite-difference time-domain method was used to analyze the absorption characteristics and the mechanism of the absorber. The research results show that the designed absorber exhibits excellent absorption characteristics in the far-infrared band (6-17 μm), with an absorption bandwidth of 10.24 μm calculated at an absorption exceeding 90%. The absorber not only has significant polarization insensitivity but also maintains average absorption of 91% and 75% under 60° oblique incidence in TM and TE modes, respectively, demonstrating certain wide-angle absorption characteristics. Mechanistic analysis reveals that the high absorption and broadband characteristics of the absorber are attributed to the synergistic effects of surface plasmon resonance, localized surface plasmon resonance, and propagating surface plasmon resonance. The excellent absorption characteristics of the designed absorber hold certain potential application value in thermal imaging, sensing technology, infrared stealth, and other aspects.
