摘要：

We introduce broadband waveguide absorbers with near unity absorption. More specifically, we propose a compact non-parity-time-symmetric perfect absorber unit cell, consisting of two metal-dielectric-metal (MDM) stub resonators with unbalanced gain and loss side-coupled to a MDM waveguide, based on unidirectional reflectionlessness at exceptional points. With proper design, light can transport through the perfect absorber unit cell with reflection close to zero in a broad wavelength range. By cascading multiple unit cell structures, the overall absorption spectra are essentially the superposition of the absorption spectra of the individual perfect absorber unit cells, and absorption of similar to 100% is supported in a wide range of frequencies.
