The invention discloses a design of an ultra
wide band optical wave absorber of a suspended
nickel (Ni) and
germanium (Ge) multilayer
nanoring array. The wave absorber is composed of a
nickel and
germanium multilayer
nanoring array, the
nanoring is periodically arranged on a
metal substrate, and the nanoring and the
metal substrate are kept in a suspended state. The proposed absorber achieves almost perfect light absorption of the
extreme ultraviolet,
far ultraviolet,
near ultraviolet, visible light, near
infrared and mid-
infrared bands due to the integration of multiple resonant
modes from the top nanoring, including
resonance of the electric and magnetic fields. The material composition, the geometrical shape and the arrangement mode of the nanoring obviously influence the absorption performance of the device, and the tolerance requirement on the parameters is low. By continuously optimizing the structure, nearly perfect absorption of electromagnetic
waves within the
wavelength range of 300-3700 nanometers can be achieved, and the average
absorption rate of the wave absorber in the whole
wave band exceeds 96.9%. The suspension structure of the wave absorber effectively isolates the
metal substrate from the heat
absorption layer, reduces heat loss, improves
energy conversion efficiency, and can be used as a
solar power generation device. In addition, due to the excellent
absorption efficiency, the recognition rate of a thermal imager can be reduced, and the wave absorber can also be applied to the fields of military equipment stealth, unmanned aerial vehicle stealth and the like.
