Metamaterials with 100% Absorption over a Large Frequency Range

Abstract

Although very desirable for detector applications and photovoltaic cells, thin him materials that absorb all incoming light are extremely hard to find. In this work, we introduce a metamaterial consisting of a meandering wire of only a few nanometer thickness that can absorb all incident radiation when the him is illuminated at the critical angle for total internal reflection. The observed effect occurs for s-polarized radiation in very lossy metals or dielectrics for which the imaginary part of the dielectric constant is much larger than the real part.
