This paper investigates a sub-wavelength multilayer dielectric grating structure based on a simple metasurface, achieving dynamically switchable four-band absorption enhancement. This enhancement spans the visible to near-infrared (NIR) range, with absorption exceeding 90%, representing nearly a 40-fold increase over the intrinsic absorption of a single graphene layer. The contributions of guided-mode resonance (GMR), optical Tamm state (OTS), and photonic crystal defect cavity resonance to the absorption spectra are analyzed separately, offering a method for independent multi-channel signal extraction. Additionally, we explore the impact of structural parameters on the absorption response and examine the broad-spectrum multiband detection mechanism. This mechanism, explained through the integration of resonant cavity perturbation theory and the dynamic tuning of absorption efficiency via graphene's Fermi energy levels, results in an independently tunable optical system for four key operating bands. These properties make the structure suitable for applications such as multiband biomedical photodetectors or components in optoelectronic devices with multiple operating bands.
