Abstract

In this paper we report on the results of the simulations of the electromagnetic properties of a metasurface composed of a 2D-array of plasmonic nanoantennas acting as polarisation insensitive dual band THz perfect absorber able to achieve absorption coefficients and quality factors up to 99.6% and 122, respectively. The 2D-array is designed on top of a polyimide flexible film separating it from an Ag ground layer. The plasmonic nanoantenna is composed of two Ag quadrangular rings and an Ag diamond-shape dot is placed at their geometrical centre. The absorption resonances show a linear frequency shift with respect to variations of the refractive index of transparent substances adsorbed on the metasurface. This allows the dual-band absorber to be employed as a sensor of the chemical/physical modifications taking place on the substance. In particular, in terms of the refractive index units, the sensor based on the dual-band absorber can achieve sensitivities up to 310 GHz/RIU.
