An Ultra‐Wideband Metasurface Perfect Absorber Based on Hybrid Absorption Modes

Advanced Photonics Research, EarlyView.
A Ge2Sb2Te5 metasurface absorber enables polarization‐independent, ultrabroadband (UV–NIR) light absorption with high angular tolerance. Its performance stems from overlapping electric and magnetic dipole resonances in a symmetric structure, achieving 94% average absorption and maintaining 83% even at 70° incidence, promising for integrated ...
