Abstract

Recently perfect metamaterial absorbers triggered some fascination since they permit the observation of an extreme interaction of light with a nanostructured thin film. For the first time we evaluate here the functionality of such perfect absorbers if they are applied on curved surfaces. We probe their optical response and discuss potential novel applications. Examples are the complete suppression of back-scattered light from the covered objects, rendering it cloaked in reflection, and their action as optical black holes.

Fig. 1 Geometry and illumination under consideration (a) Schematic of a planar perfect metamaterial absorber. (b) Schematic of the perfect metamaterial absorber on a curved surface. Geometrical parameters are chosen according to dfilm = 200nm, tgap = 10nm, twire = 10nm, L = 125nm, P = 200nm, Rdie = 8.2 μm. The structure illuminated by TM polarized plane wave and the magnetic filed is always along the infinite nanowires i.e. z-direction.

(a) Hz- component and Jy- component (inset) at resonance frequency f = 232THz for a unit cell of the planar absorber [see Fig. 1(a)]. (b) Absorption of the planar absorber as a function of frequency and the angle of incidence. (c) Hz- component at resonance for a plane wave incident at an absorber on curved surface. (d) Cross sections per unit length of the absorber on curved surface (solid lines) and a referential dielectric cylinder with permittivity of εcyl = 5 (dashed lines). The figure shows the total and the backward scattering cross section as well as the absorption cross section (all per unit length).
