Control of light absorbance using plasmonic grating based perfect absorber at visible and near-infrared wavelengths

Abstract Conventional metamaterial absorbers have multilayer designs, where the dielectric interlayer is sandwiched between a top patterned metallic structure and bottom metallic film. Here, we demonstrate that a highly polarization-sensitive perfect absorber canbe realized by replacing the bottom m...
