Abstract
In the past, the polarization-insensitive absorption is realized mainly employing the two-dimensional periodic structure of fourfold rotational symmetry, which greatly increases the manufacturing complexity and cost. Here, we present the numerical design of a polarization-independent near-perfect absorber incorporating one-dimensional embedded aluminum grating. The absorption peaks near 99% at 520-nm wavelength for different polarization angles are achieved. The underlying mechanism associated with the resonance is attributed to the magnetic polariton resonance and the cavity-mode resonance for TM and TE polarization, respectively, and further explained by the inductor-capacitor circuit model and the eigen equation of cavity mode. Furthermore, the effects of geometrical parameters of the nano-cavity on the absorption performance are discussed. The proposed structure may provide a new way to achieve polarization-independent absorption with one-dimensional meta-surface, which has broad applications in plasmonic sensors, photo-detectors, and so on.
