The study of the light absorption efficiency of a hollow spherical microparticle (microcapsule) doped with strongly absorbing gold nanoparticles of spherical and cylindrical spatial shapes is presented. By means of the FDTD numerical simulations, the absorption spectra of a microcapsule doped with nanoparticles in the visible and near-IR spectral regions are calculated. We show the absorption efficiency of the capsule depends on the morphology of nano-inclusions. In particular, there is a noticeable absorption enhancement of the microcapsule in the regions of the resonant excitation of the localized surface plasmon modes of doping nanoparticles. The chromatic dispersion of capsule absorptivity decreases with an increase in the volume content of nanoparticles, as well as when simultaneously mixing nano-inclusions of various shapes (spheres + rods). In this case, it becomes possible to obtain a near-uniform absorption spectrum of the capsule in the considered wavelength range, which can be well fitted within the framework of effective homogeneous medium using, e.g., the Bruggeman mixing rule.
