Abstract

En 中文
The ability to engineer multiresonant absorption response in the midwave infrared provides spectral information critical for detection and sensing. We design and fabricate thin metal absorbers with a polarization-dependent, multiresonant, and spectral response. Our approach exploits the coexistence of a conventional Fabry-Peròt (FP) resonance and a geometry-enabled resonance arising from symmetry breaking within a single, dilute-metal structure. The resulting anisotropic geometry produces a polarization-dependent response with a single resonance for x-polarized light and dual resonances for the orthogonal polarization. The resonances correspond to two fundamentally distinct physical mechanisms (i.e., cavity- and symmetry-driven); we experimentally verify our findings and achieve dual-resonant thin metal structures. These findings are promising for independently tailoring spectral position and line width within a single compact structure.
