Description

Technical field [0001] This patent relates to an ultra-narrowband spectral selective absorber, especially an ultra-narrowband TE polarization spectral selective absorber based on a cascade grating structure. Background technique [0002] Generally, there are two types of absorbers: one is broadband absorber, which has high absorption in a certain bandwidth range, and is mainly used in the field of thin film solar cells; the other is spectral selective absorber, namely It has ideal absorption in a narrow bandwidth and is mainly used to design high-sensitivity detectors, thermal imaging devices and narrow-band absorption / heat radiators. In order to achieve ideal spectral selective absorption, many sub-wavelength structures have been proposed, such as metamaterials, metal nanoparticles, and so on. Among these proposed structures, the one-dimensional metal grating structure can also be used to achieve enhanced absorption, and its structure is simpler, and its design and production a...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, these selective absorbers, whether based on complex metamaterial structures or simple metal grating structures, have common defects: poor spatial coherence, limited narrow-band spectrum (bandwidth is usually on the order of hundreds of nanometers, not narrow enough)

However, the TM polarized narrow-band absorber / heat radiator has a big defect. Its Bragg grating is usually composed of 20 pairs of high-refractive-index dielectric layers and low-refractive-index dielectric layers. Therefore, its fabrication is complicated and costly, which is not conducive to practical application.
