Multiple responses of TPP-assisted near-perfect absorption in metal/Fibonacci quasiperiodic photonic crystal

Abstract

Absorption properties in one-dimensional quasiperiodic photonic crystal composed of a thin metallic layer and dielectric Fibonacci multilayers are investigated. It is found that a large number of photonic stopbands can occur at the dielectric Fibonacci multilayers. Tamm plasmon polaritons (TPPs) with the frequencies locating at each photonic stopband are excited at the interface between the metallic layer and the dielectric layer, leading to almost perfect absorption for the energy of incident wave. By adjusting the length of dielectric layer with higher refractive-index or the Fibonacci order, the number of absorption peaks can be tuned effectively and enlarged significantly.
