In the practical application,a wide-angle absorption with simple structure is still crucial property of metamaterial ab-sorbers(MAs).A single-band infrared MA is introduced to analyze the angle insensitive mechanism.Numerical simu-lation reveals that a perfect absorption peak with 99.9%(7.55 μm)is achieved at normal incidence,as well as the ab-sorptivity is respectively 69.7%(7.46 μm)and 93.5%(7.46 μm)for transverse electric(TE)and transverse magnetic(TM)modes at 70° incidence.By changing substrate thickness,the absorption ratio at 70° is increased to 91%(7.46 μm)for TE mode.Our design can also keep the good absorption stability for the geometric parameters.The Ez-field distributions for different incident angles are given to investigate the physical mechanism.The designed MA can realize good wide-angle tolerance.This MA owns great applications,including infrared spectroscopy,solar har-vester and plasmonic sensors.
