Abstract

Abstract Narrowband light absorbers are of great importance in many practical applications, such as color filtering and thermal emission. Here, we experimentally demonstrate a multispectral narrowband light absorber based on a silicon nano-cavity coupled metallo-dielectric cavity. Seven absorption bands with excellent absorption features are achieved in the near-infrared region. Theoretical results indicate that the multi-band light absorption strongly attributes to the hybridization coupling between the optical modes of the silicon cavity and the plasmonic resonances of the metallic structure. These optical features hold the absorber with wide applications in optoelectronics.
