Abstract
Developing various 3D graphene microwave absorbers is a hotspot strategy to address the issue of continuous electromagnetic pollution, but remains great challenges in realizing high-performance microwave absorption capability at thin thickness. Herein, a series of flexible metamaterial absorbers (MAs) composed of periodical laser-induced graphene (LIG) surface, dielectric substrate and metallic ground fabric from top to bottom are fabricated. The LIG meta-surface is customized by means of regulating parameters including laser power density (LPD), laser engraving rate (LER) and input patterns to well balance impedance matching and electromagnetic loss. LIG MAs exhibit minimum reflection loss (RL) of −39.7 dB (with effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) of 5.5 GHz) and maximum EBA of 12.1 GHz (with RL of −18.9 dB) at thickness less than 1.1 mm, and the simulated and experimental results are highly consistent. In addition, radar cross section (RCS) simulation of LIG MA with multi-angles endows its potential for prospective applications in in-orbit satellites electromagnetic protection.
