Abstract
We design and numerically investigate a wide angle and broadband perfect absorber with compact multilayer structures. The proposed structure is composed of three stacks of semiconductor films and one metal layer. The absorber presents a broadband absorption between 450 nm and 700 nm with an average absorption above 99.2%. For oblique incidence, the absorber shows an average absorption about 90% for a wide range of incident angles from 0[Formula: see text] to 60[Formula: see text] with p polarization and s polarization. The electrical field intensity distributions are also studied to disclose the broadband absorption mechanism. This designed broadband absorber appears to have very promising applications in solar thermal energy harvesting, thermal emitters and detection.
