Parametric Analysis of Vertically Oriented Metamaterials for Wideband Omnidirectional Perfect Absorption

Pung, Aaron J.; Goldflam, Michael G.; Burckel, David B.; Brener, Igal B.; Sinclair, Michael B.; Campione, Salvatore

Metamaterials provide a means to tailor the spectral response of a surface. Given the periodic nature of the metamaterial, proper design of the unit cell requires intimate knowledge of the parameter space for each design variable. We present a detailed study of the parameter space surrounding vertical split-ring resonators and planar split-ring resonators, and demonstrate widening of the perfect absorption bandwidth based on the understanding of its parameter space.
