Abstract

This study proposes a tunable dual-band mid-infrared graphene-based one-dimensional photonic crystal absorber with strong surface phonon polaritons and Tamm phonon polariton coupling. We use an LC circuit, transfer matrices, and coupled harmonic oscillator models to theoretically analyze the different modes, and the theoretical results are consistent with the simulation results. The resonance wavelengths and absorption intensities of the coupled mode can be adjusted by the Fermi level and structure parameters. Moreover, because the perfect dual-band absorption peaks of the designed structure are sensitive to the air layer’s refractive index, we demonstrate the possibility of its application in the field of refractive index sensors and analyze its potential in the field of biomolecular layer sensors. The designed structure also has broad applications in absorbers, photodetectors, and energy harvesting devices due to the excellent performance of the tunable perfect absorption peaks.
