Abstract

Based on rectangle-shaped structures, we create a dual-band metamaterial perfect absorber (DMPA) in the optical region. The independent-polarization absorption is a significant advantage as well as the simple integrated progress for constituent materials. In particular, absorption can be obtained to be over 90% in a bandwidth of 140 THz (from 608 THz to 748 THz), which is still remained well in the oblique incident angles for the TE-polarization. Our results can be regarded as the groundwork for the near future applications such as photodetectors, energy converters and more.
