摘要
A highly efficient and broad light absorber capable of wide-angle absorption in the visible and near infrared range is presented and numerically investigated for energy harvesting in a simple geometry. According to the calculated results, the proposed device has a peak absorption level of about 99.95%. The actual absorption efficiency is 76.35%, which is approaching that of complex multilayer absorbers with 88 layers working in the wavelength range of 300 nm to 2000 nm. The electro-optic material has the potential of shifting the absorption peak position, compensating fabrication errors and thus reducing the fabrication technique difficulties. Also, the high electro-optic tunability can be used for filters, infrared detection, and imaging applications. More directly, the proposed absorber can be potentially deployed in solar cells and solar thermals.
