Abstract
A tunable terahertz dual band absorber consisted of graphene ribbon arrays and a graphene sheet with near-unity absorption is proposed and studied in this letter. With the coupling enhancement of graphene ribbon and graphene sheet, a perfect dual band absorber with absorption over 99% at 3.67 THz and 5.88 THz is achieved. Moreover, the principal of the coupling enhancement is analyzed. By optimizing the parameters of the structure, not only the absorption can be enhanced, but also the center of absorbing frequency could be shifted. Another approach to adjust the absorber–tuning the chemical potential of graphene which is more convenient and timely is investigated. Furthermore, the sensing of the refractive index is emulated by changing the refractive index of the medium on the top. Results show a broad application prospect of the absorber proposed in this paper.
