description | Broadband high absorption of long-wavelength infrared light for rough submicron active material films is quite challenging to achieve. Unlike conventional infrared detection units, with over three-layer complex structures, a three-layer metamaterial with mercury cadmium telluride (MCT) film sandwiched between an Au cuboid array and Au mirror is studied through theory and simulations. The results show that propagated/localized surface plasmon resonance simultaneously contribute to broadband absorption under the TM wave of the absorber, while the Fabry–Perot (FP) cavity resonance causes absorption of the TE wave. As surface plasmon resonance concentrates most of the TM wave on the MCT film, 74% of the incident light energy is absorbed by the submicron thickness MCT film within the 8–12 μm waveband, which is approximately 10 times than that of the rough same thickness MCT film. In addition, by replacing the Au mirror with Au grating, the FP cavity along the y-axis direction was destroyed, and the absorber exhibited excellent polarization-sensitive and incident angle-insensitive properties. For the corresponding conceived metamaterial photodetector, as carrier transit time across the gap between Au cuboid is much less than that of other paths, the Au cuboids simultaneously act as microelectrodes to collect photocarriers generated in the gap. Thus the light absorption and photocarrier collection efficiency are hopefully improved simultaneously. Finally, the density of the Au cuboids is increased by adding the same arranged cuboids perpendicular to the original direction on the top surface or by replacing the cuboids with crisscross, which results in broadband polarization-insensitive high absorption by the absorber. |
