Abstract
In this paper, we present a tunable dual-band perfect metamaterial absorber working in the infrared band by integrating a metallic split-ring-groove resonator array with a liquid crystal (LC) layer atop a metal substrate. By varying the height of the central nanodisks, the absorptivity of the dual-band absorption peaks can be simultaneously adjusted. The dual-band resonance frequencies of the proposed absorber exhibit continuous tunability by adjusting the refractive index of the LC, which can be controlled by applying external voltage. The mechanism of the perfect absorption is attributed to the gap plasmonic resonance coupling regime. The presented absorber exhibits good tolerance to incidence angles up to 60° and shows polarization dependent performance, which may offer promising applications in sensing, modulator, and optical absorption switching in the infrared regime.
