Abstract

An ultrawideband metamaterial perfect absorber based on vanadium dioxide is proposed. It achieves >95 % absorption of vertically incident electromagnetic waves in the range of 3.50 to 10 THz. The absorption intensity can be dynamically adjusted in the range of 0.2% to 99.98% by varying the conductivity of VO2. The mechanism of ultrawideband perfect absorption is interpreted using electric field distribution analysis and impedance-matching theory. The absorption rate related to the structural parameters of the absorber is investigated by numerical simulation. Finally, its polarization angle-insensitive and incidence angle-insensitive properties are demonstrated. This proposed absorber has potential applications in optical switching, electromagnetic stealth, and sensing applications.
