Independently Tunable Dual-Band Perfect Absorption in a Dual-Resonance Hybrid Structure Incorporating Graphene

Abstract

An independently tunable dual-resonance hybrid structure incorporating graphene is proposed to achieve selective light trapping and response tuning in the visible and near-infrared band. The incident light with different wavelengths are intensely localized in two separated resonant cavities via the synergetic effect of the guided mode resonances (GMRs) and optical Tamm states (OTSs), which leads to the strong enhancement of the light-matter interaction of graphene in different parts of the structure. The dual-band perfect absorption associated with critical coupling is achieved, whereas the two resonant modes can be independently tuned by adjusting the corresponding structural parameters. Furthermore, by dynamically changing the permittivity of the resonant cavities or the chemical potential of graphene, the absorption wavelength can be continuously adjusted and the absorption efficiency can be regulated stepwise.
