THE RESEARCH IDEA

Control the optical response through geometry.

The proposed absorber uses a DSRR printed above a dielectric spacer and continuous silver ground plane. The ground suppresses transmission, while the split-ring geometry produces LC resonances and confines electromagnetic energy. Instead of rebuilding the topology for every operating point, the resonator dimensions are systematically scaled to tune the response.

The study reports designed resonances at 423, 518, 640 and 831 THz, with absorption approaching unity at the target resonances.

Scale the resonator. Move the resonance.

Select one of the four designs to see the actual dimensions reported in the thesis. The live model rescales the concentric DSRR geometry and animates incident optical energy toward the absorber.

GEOMETRICAL SCALING

The dimensions behind four optical bands.

The spacer and ground thicknesses remain fixed while the lateral DSRR geometry is scaled. The 831 THz case keeps W at 288 nm while using the smaller ring dimensions reported for the high-frequency design.

S-PARAMETERS + ABSORPTIVITY

Four targets. Four strong absorption responses.

With the metallic ground plane making transmission approximately zero, absorptivity is evaluated from the reflection response. The simulated curves show deep S11 minima at the designed resonances and absorption approaching 100%.

SURFACE CURRENT

Seeing the resonance mechanism.

Current concentration around the split rings confirms the resonant behavior. The lower-frequency design also supports higher-order modes produced by the ring structure and coupling between the inner and outer resonators.
