Description
Summary:In this paper, a triple-band hybridization coherent perfect absorber based on graphene metamaterial is proposed, which consists of graphene concentric nanorings with different sizes and a metallic mirror separated by SiO<sub>2</sub> layer. Based on the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) solution, triple-band coherent perfect absorption is achieved at frequencies from 0.6 THz to 1.8 THz, which results from the surface plasmon resonance hybridization. The wavelength of the absorption peak can be rapidly changed by varying the Fermi level of graphene. Most importantly, the wavelength of the absorption peak can be independently tuned by varying the Fermi level of the single graphene nanoring. Moreover, the triple hybridization perfect absorber is angle-insensitive because of the perfect symmetry structure of the graphene nanorings. Therefore, our results may widely inspire optoelectronic and micro-nano applications, such as cloaking, tunable sensor, etc.
