Abstract
Herein, a tunable thermal-optical ultra-narrowband grating absorber is realized. Four ultra-sharp absorption peaks in the infrared region are achieved with the absorption efficiency of 19.89%, 98.41%, 99.14%, and 99.99% at 1144.34 nm, 1190.92 nm, 1268.58 nm, and 1358.70 nm, respectively. Benefiting from an extremely narrow bandwidth (0.27 nm), a maximum Q-factor over 4400 is obtained for the absorber. Moreover, the spectral response can be artificially tuned by controlling the temperature via the strong thermo-optic effect of silicon resonator. The high absorption contrast ratio of 23 dB is demonstrated by only increasing the temperature by 10 °C, showing an order of magnitude better than that of the previously demonstrated performance in the infrared image contrast manipulation. Also, the absorption intensity can be precisely regulated via tuning the polarization state of incident light. Strong tunability extending to temperature and polarization states makes this metasurface promising for applications in a high-performance switch, notch filter, modulator, etc.
