Abstract

This paper presents a novel graphene-based proportional structure for a tunable wideband absorber in the terahertz (THz) frequency range. In order to achieve the ideal design structure, we make the distance between the top graphene structure and the periodic edge remains proportional, enabling excellent absorption with an absorption rate exceeding 90 % within the frequency range of 3.1–6.97 (3.87)THz. Notably, a perfect absorption is achieved at f = 6.5 THz. At f = 4.2 THz, the absorption rate is close to 97 %, and at f = 5.2 THz, the absorption rate is about 91 %. The average absorption rate is 94.6 % in the range of 3.1–6.97 THz. The absorber's impedance is calculated to demonstrate its favorable absorption band. Furthermore, an analysis of the electric field within the absorber reveals the coupling effect of strong electric fields between different regions, leading to the overlapping of absorption peaks and the formation of a wideband response. This allows us to choose regions to combine according to the needs of the application. By adjusting the parameters of the absorber, it exhibits coordinated performance and manufacturing tolerance. Additionally, the absorber shows a certain degree of tolerance to the incident angle of electromagnetic waves. These findings highlight the potential applications of this absorber in optoelectronic devices, THz detection, and stealth technology.
