Abstract

The resonant absorption in a planar metamaterial is studied theoretically. We present a simple physical model describing this phenomenon in terms of equivalent resonant circuit. We discuss the role of radiative and dissipative damping of resonant mode supported by a metamaterial in the formation of absorption spectra. We show that the results of rigorous calculations of Maxwell equations can be fully retrieved with simple model describing the system in terms of equivalent resonant circuit. This simple model allows us to explain the total absorption effect observed in the system on a common physical ground by referring it to the impedance matching condition at the resonance.

(a) Absorption spectra of the first TM mode (n = 1, m = 0) and (b) next higher order TM mode (n = 3, m = 0) for different values of ohmic losses in absorptive layer introduced through ε″. Inset: half width of the resonance Γ as a function of imaginary part of dielectric function ε″ of absorptive layer. Green points correspond to the value of radiative damping γ extracted at ε″ = 0 and the total decay rate Γ at the optimal ε″, respectively. l = 15.2 mm and s = 0.3 mm.
