Abstract
Metal nanoparticles (NPs) concentrate the energy of incident photons through plasmon resonance excitation, which allows scattering into a substrate with a high refractive index, and the radiated energy from this excitation significantly increases the optical absorption of the substrate. In this work, the effect of Ag NPs on the absorption capacity of mushroom-nanostructured Si metasurfaces was analyzed using the finite-difference time-domain method. It was observed that the absorbance in the metasurfaces with Ag NPs increased from 90.8% to 98.7% compared with nanostructured Si metasurface without NPs. It was shown that the plasmon resonance effect of Ag NPs enlarged the range of the FP cavity by about 10 times, and the electric field strength E2 increased by about four times through the combination of Ag NP and Si absorbers. Meanwhile, the effect of randomly distributed nanostructures on the absorption properties of Si metasurfaces was simulated. Additionally, the nanostructured surface with Ag NPs was insensitive to angle, which encourages the design of broadband and wide-angle superabsorption nanostructures.
