Abstract :
In this paper a novel configuration of metamaterial perfect absorber (MMPA) is proposed to enhance the spectral broadband performance. A combination of squares and circles of Au structures made on Si are used for the purpose. An Au thin layer at the bottom is used to minimize the transmission through the MMPA. The observed strong absorbance are due to the overlap between TE and TM polarization states from 250 nm to 600 nm and 1100 nm to 1700 nm. The design is validated by measuring the reflectance, transmittance and absorbance at different angle of incidence of source using Lumerical FDTD commercial software. Results show incidence angles sensitive broadband MMPA.
