In this paper, an ultra-wideband solar absorber consisting of a four-layer structure of Al2O3-TiN-Al2O3-Ti is proposed. The proposed absorber achieves an average absorption of 97.85% in the wavelength range of 250-2000 nm (49.96% improvement over the reference planar structure), and its bandwidth of absorption over 90 % is even as high as 1742 nm. As a result of the symmetrical design of the structure, the absorber has polarization insensitivity and wide-angle absorption characteristics. In particular, the absorber has a large process tolerance in the structural parameters and a high degree of universality for other metals and dielectric materials, which is highly advantageous in manufacturing. In addition, we explored the reasons for the high absorption of the structure in detail, discussed the influence of different structures on the absorption, and analyzed the absorption characteristics and thermal conversion efficiency of the structure under the solar spectrum. The proposed structure provides a broader bandwidth and higher light absorption than the recently reported work and further reduces the structure's thickness. Therefore, the absorber will have broad application prospects in photothermal conversion, solar cells, imaging, and stealth.

“…The above work demonstrated that wide bandwidth can be obtained with two-layer gratings compared to single-layer gratings. Huang et al described a 2D reflective grating with nanodisks arrays, which can achieve high efficiency and polarization-insensitive output of (−1, 0) order [27]. Although high efficiency can be obtained in high-density gratings and 2D gratings with polarizationdependent or polarization-independent properties, there are still few reports of designing bidirectional gratings to achieve dual-functional outputs with polarization-dependent and polarization-independent properties.…”

In this paper, a novel bidirectional dual-functional metal-dielectric reflective grating with a double-sided structure is described, which can achieve transverse-electric (TE) polarization in the -1st order and transverse-magnetic (TM) polarization in the 0th order as a polarizing beam splitter in the upper part of the grating or TE and TM polarizations in the -1st order with polarization-independent property in the lower part of the grating. The proposed grating works at wavelength 1550 nm under Littrow mounting. Rigorous coupled-wave analysis (RCWA) is used to optimize grating parameters. The upper part can achieve diffraction efficiencies of 99.53% and 99.11% for TE polarization in the -1st order and TM polarization in the 0th order, respectively. In addition, the extinction ratios of -1st order and 0th order are 58.87 dB and 52.02 dB, respectively. The lower part can achieve diffraction efficiencies of 99.41% and 99.26% for TE and TM polarizations in the -1st order, respectively. Furthermore, wide incident wavelength and angular bandwidths can be obtained in both the upper and lower parts. Such a high-efficiency dual-functional grating has a wide range of applications in optical systems.
