Multi-channel THz perfect absorber using graphene-based Fibonacci photonic crystals

A graphene-based multi-channel THz perfect absorber is proposed in this paper. The absorber consists of a graphene layer, a Fibonacci quasi-periodic layer, a spacer, and a substrate. We demonstrate that the structure we proposed can lead to multi-channel perfect THz absorption because of the graphene surface plasmon polaritons and multiple photonic stop bands in this structure. The multi-channel working frequencies and absorption peaks can be flexibly tuned by controlling the incidence angle, size of component materials, and Fermi energy. Moreover, by adjusting the Fibonacci quasi-period orders of the structure, the number of working channels can be flexibly expanded without reoptimizing the structure size. Moreover, by adjusting the Fibonacci quasi-period orders of the structure, the number of working channels can be flexibly expanded without reoptimizing the structure size. Using existing technology, our design scheme is easy to realize, which will be helpful to promote the development and application of novel tunable optoelectronic devices.
