Abstract
As a two-dimensional (2D) material, the crystalline monolayer molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) has drawn extensive attention due to its interesting optical, mechanical and thermal properties compatible with many applications. Here, a dual-band perfect metamaterial absorber (PMA) composed of a simple periodically patterned cylinder/square MoS2-dielectric silica (SiO2) arrays supported by a metal ground plane is proposed and studied by using finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations. Numerical results reveal that the absorption spectrum of the MoS2-based structure displays two perfect absorption peaks in the visible–NIR region. The interactions between electromagnetic waves and this PMA structure are analyzed through the field distributions and spectral responses in detail. It is also presented that the peak wavelengths can be tuned by manipulating related structural parameters. Compared with previous dual-band PMA, our absorber has only one shape that can greatly simplify the manufacturing process and the absorber is insensitive to the polarization of incident light. Furthermore, this PMA can work as a refractive index sensor with high performance due to its stable near-unity absorption.
