Abstract
We show theoretically that the optical absorption of one-dimensional metallic photonic bandgap (MPBG) materials, which consist of alternating Ag and MgF2 layers, can be substantially enhanced by modifying the structure properly through decreasing the thickness of top MgF2 layer to half and increasing the thickness of bottom Ag layer to fivefold. Using transfer matrix method, absorption spectra and the electric field distribution profiles are numerically calculated. The absorption spectrum under reverse-direction incidence is also investigated. Based on strong and direction-dependent absorption properties, the proposed MPBG structure could allow many potential applications such as unique photothermal absorbing materials.
