A controllable multi-frequency absorption structure predicated on a one-dimensional magnetized ferrite photonic crystals (MFPCs) that achieves coherent perfect absorption is designed and further analyzed by utilizing the transfer matrix method. By introducing the filter structures to the MFPC and using the gradient descent optimization algorithms to optimize its layer parameters, the multi-frequency coherent absorption curve is obtained. The suggested MFPC brings out about six absorption peaks whose absorptance can be higher than 0.99 at the same time under the transverse electric mode. Moreover, the absorptance can be regulated from 0.99 to less than 0.1 by merely changing the phase deviation between the two incident waves to the front and rear surfaces. Besides, the studied results demonstrate that the intensity of coherent absorption and the position of absorption peaks can be adapted by altering the magnetic field and the thicknesses of ferrite layers. It follows that the absorption peaks can cover most frequency points from 58.6 to 65.9 THz via changing the thicknesses of the external magnetic field and ferrite layers. Moreover, the structure also has the potential for wide-angle absorption. This research furnishes a significant reference for the design of the multi-frequency absorption optoelectronic device and phase sensor.
