Periodic gold disks are selectively patterned onto the top layer of suspended SiN/VO_2/SiN sandwich-structure.We employ the finite element method to model this structure in COMSOL Multiphysics including a proposed method of modulating the absorption peak. Simulation results show that the absorber has two absorption peaks at wavelengths λ =4.8 μm and λ = 9 μm with the absorption magnitudes more than 0.98 and 0.94 in MWIR and LWIR regions, respectively. In addition, the absorber achieves broad spectrum absorption in LWIR region, in the meanwhile, tunable dual-band absorption peaks can be achieved by variable heights of cavity as well as diameters and periodicity of disk. Thus, this designed absorber can be a good candidate for enhancing the performance of dual band uncooled infrared detector, furthermore, the manufacturing process of cavity can be easily simplified so that the reliability of such devices can be improved.展开更多

The radiation patches consist of a shortedannular-ring reduced-surface-wave（SAR-RSW） element and an inverted-shorted-annular-ring reduced-surface-wave（ISAR-RSW）element. One key feature of the design is the proximity-coupled probe feeds to increase impedance bandwidth. The other is the defected ground structure band rejection filters to suppress the interaction effect between the SAR-RSW and the ISAR-RSW elements. In addition, trans-directional couplers are used to obtain tight coupling. Measurement results indicate that the antenna has a larger than 10 d B return loss bandwidth and a less than 3 d B axial-ratio（AR） bandwidth in the range of（1.164 – 1.255） GHz and（1.552 – 1.610） GHz. The gain of the passive antenna in the whole operating band is more than 7 d Bi.展开更多

In the proposed architecture, the quarter-wavelength lines, which work at two separated bands concurrently and can be tuned in one of them, are key components. Based on the analysis of ABCD-matrix, a novel hybrid structure and a pair of varactors topology are utilized to achieve concurrent dual-band operation and independent tunability, respectively. Using this configuration, it is convenient to tune the center frequency of the upper band, while the responses of the lower band remain unaltered. To verify the proposed idea, a demonstration is implemented and the simulated results are presented.展开更多

The absorption of the composite structure varies with the geometrical parameters of the structure and the physical parameters of graphene at mid-infrared frequencies. The numerical simulation shows that a near-perfect absorption with single and alum bands can be achieved in a certain frequency range. We also analyze the electric and surface current distributions to study the dual-band absorber. The results show that the absorber can be tuned by the chemical potential and electron phonon relaxation time of graphene, and electromagnetically induced transparency phenomenon can be obtained. The results of this study may be beneficial in the fields of infrared communication, perfect absorbers, sensors and filters.展开更多

In numerical simulation the metamaterial absorber exhibits two absorption peaks at the resonance wavelengths of 6.246 μm and 6.837μm when the Fermi level of graphene is fixed at 0. 6 eV. Absorption spectra at different Fermi levels of graphene are displayed and tuning functions are discussed in detail. Both the resonance wavelengths of the absorber blue shift with the increase in Fermi level of graphene. Moreover, the surface current distributions on the gold resonator and ground plane at the two resonance wavelengths are simulated to deeply understand the physical mechanism of resonance absorption.展开更多

Experimental verification by THz time-domain spectroscopy indicates good agreement with the simulation results. Owing to the weak coupling between the two neighboring cross slots in the unit cell, good selectivity performance can be easily achieved, both in the lower and higher bands, by tuning the dimensions of the two crosses. The physical mechanisms of the dual-band resonant are clarified by using three differently configured filters and electric field distribution diagrams. Owing to the rotational symmetry of the cross-shaped filter, the radiation at normal incidence is insensitive to polarization. Compared with the THz dual-band filters that were reported earlier, these filters also have the advantages of easy fabrication and low cost, which would find applications in dual-band sensors, THz communication systems, and emerging THz technologies.展开更多

Transmission zeroes are introduced for the single-band filter by using dual-mode stepped-impedance resonators. The single-band filter with high selectivity is centered at 6.02 GHz and has a fractional bandwidth （FBW） of 25.6%. Four stubs （two low frequency and two high frequency ones） are connected to the rectangular patch in the center to construct a quadruple-mode resonator. The independent conditions of the center frequencies of the high and low bands of the resonator are analyzed. A dual-band filter, which operates at 1.53 GHz and 2.44 GHz with FWBs of 12.1% and 14.1%, respectively is designed. The single-and dual-band filters are both fabricated with double-sided YBCO films and they can be used in mobile and satellite communications.展开更多

The characteristics of the quasi-elliptic bandpass response are realized by shunting two substrate integrated waveguide cavities of different sizes, with the same slots on both sides of the metal surfaces. Four cavities of different sizes and two slots of different sizes are used to design the novel FSS. Every bandpass response with sharp sidebands is induced by two transmission nulls that are generated by the coupling between the slot aperture resonance and the cavity resonance. The simulation results show that such dual-band FSS has the advantages of high selectivity and stable performance at different oblique incident angles. Moreover, it is easy to fabricate.展开更多

文摘The development of high-performance dual-band photodetectors(PDs)capable of simultaneous deep ultraviolet(DUV)and infrared(IR)detection is critical for advanced optoelectronic applications,particularly in missile warning and target identification systems.Conventional UV/IR PDs often suffer from UV(320-400 nm)noise interference and limited responsivity due to the use of narrow-bandgap semiconductors and self-powered operation modes.To address these challenges,high-quality β-Ga_(2)O_(3)thin films were epitaxially grown on c-plane sapphire via metalorganic chemical vapor deposition(MOCVD),exhibiting excellent crystallinity and surface morphology.Unlike conventional heterojunctions(β-Ga_(2)O_(3)/graphene or β-Ga_(2)O_(3)/TMDs),the β-Ga_(2)O_(3)/BP structure leverages BP's tunable bandgap and high carrier mobility while maintaining strong type-Ⅱ band alignment,thereby facilitating efficient charge separation under both UV and IR illumination.We present a high-sensitivity dual-band PD based on a β-Ga_(2)O_(3)/black phosphorus(BP)pn heterojunction.The ultrawide bandgap of β-Ga_(2)O_(3)enables selective detection of DUV light while effectively suppressing interference from long-wave ultraviolet(UVA,320-400 nm),whereas BP provides a layer-dependent infrared(IR)response.Photocurrent analysis reveals distinct carrier transport mechanisms,with electrons dominating under UV illumination and holes contributing predominantly under IR exposure.A systematic investigation of the bias-dependent photoresponse demonstrates that the responsivity increases significantly at higher voltages.Under a 7 V bias,the device exhibits a high responsivity of 4.63×10^(-2)mA/W at 254 nm and 2.35×10^(-3)mA/W at 850 nm.This work not only provides a viable strategy for developing high-performance dual-band PDs but also advances the understanding of heterojunction-based optoelectronic devices for military and sensing applications.

文摘A novel dual-band planar microstrip filter using parallel coupled microstrip lines and open-loop stepped-impedance resonators（SIRs）loaded with two shunt open stubs is presented.By tuning the physical lengths of open-loop SIRs,parallel coupled microstrip lines and two stubs,the bandpass filter has good dual-passband performance at 2.55 and 5.35 GHz and high isolation between the two passbands.The relative bandwidths of the two passbands are 11.8% and 16.8%,respectively.Compared with the conventional open-loop SIR filters,the designed filter has a comparatively broader fractional bandwidth at the second passband.So it can cover all the wireless LAN（local area network）bands.In addition,the filter has the features of low loss,high rejection and low ripple.The measured results are in good agreement with the simulated responses by HFSS software.

文摘Dual-band electrochromic smart windows(DESWs)with independent control of the transmittance of near-infrared and visible light show great potential in the application of smart and energy-saving buildings.The current strategy for building DESWs is to screen materials for composite or prepare plasmonic nanocrystal films.These rigorous preparation processes seriously limit the further development of DESWs.Herein,we report a facile and effective sol-gel strategy using a foaming agent to achieve porous Ti-doped tungsten oxide film for the high performance of DESWs.The introduction of foaming agent polyvinylpyrrolidone during the film preparation can increase the specific surface area and free carrier concentration of the films and enhance their independent regulation ability of near-infrared electrochromism.As a result,the optimal film shows excellent dual-band electrochromic properties,including high optical modulation(84.9%at 633 nm and 90.3%at 1200 nm),high coloration efficiency(114.9 cm^(2) C^(-1) at 633 nm and 420.3 cm^(2) C^(-1) at 1200 nm),quick switching time,excellent bistability,and good cycle stability(the transmittance modulation losses at 633 and 1200 nm were 11%and 3.5%respectively after 1000 cycles).A demonstrated DESW fabricated by the sol-gel film showed effective management of heat and light of sunlight.This study represents a significant advance in the preparation of dual-band electrochromic films,which will shed new light on advancing electrochromic technology for future energy-saving smart buildings.

文摘We propose a periodic structure as an extra absorption layer（i.e., absorber） based on surface plasmon resonance effects, enhancing dual-band absorption in both middle wavelength infrared（MWIR） and long wavelength infrared（LWIR）regions. Periodic gold disks are selectively patterned onto the top layer of suspended SiN/VO_2/SiN sandwich-structure.We employ the finite element method to model this structure in COMSOL Multiphysics including a proposed method of modulating the absorption peak. Simulation results show that the absorber has two absorption peaks at wavelengths λ =4.8 μm and λ = 9 μm with the absorption magnitudes more than 0.98 and 0.94 in MWIR and LWIR regions, respectively. In addition, the absorber achieves broad spectrum absorption in LWIR region, in the meanwhile, tunable dual-band absorption peaks can be achieved by variable heights of cavity as well as diameters and periodicity of disk. Thus, this designed absorber can be a good candidate for enhancing the performance of dual band uncooled infrared detector, furthermore, the manufacturing process of cavity can be easily simplified so that the reliability of such devices can be improved.

文摘A novel dual-band antenna is proposed for mitigating the multi-path interference in the global navigation satellite system（GNSS） applications. The radiation patches consist of a shortedannular-ring reduced-surface-wave（SAR-RSW） element and an inverted-shorted-annular-ring reduced-surface-wave（ISAR-RSW）element. One key feature of the design is the proximity-coupled probe feeds to increase impedance bandwidth. The other is the defected ground structure band rejection filters to suppress the interaction effect between the SAR-RSW and the ISAR-RSW elements. In addition, trans-directional couplers are used to obtain tight coupling. Measurement results indicate that the antenna has a larger than 10 d B return loss bandwidth and a less than 3 d B axial-ratio（AR） bandwidth in the range of（1.164 – 1.255） GHz and（1.552 – 1.610） GHz. The gain of the passive antenna in the whole operating band is more than 7 d Bi.

文摘In this paper,a dual-band graphene-based frequency selective surface(GFSS)is investigated and the operating mechanism of this GFSS is analyzed.By adjusting the bias voltage to control the graphene chemical po-tential between 0 eV and 0.5 eV,the GFSS can achieve four working states:dual-band passband,high-pass lowimpedance,low-pass high-impedance,and band-stop.Based on this GFSS,a hexagonal radome on a broadband omnidirectional monopole antenna is proposed,which can achieve independent 360°six-beam omnidirectional scanning at 1.08 THz and 1.58 THz dual bands.In addition,while increasing the directionality,the peak gains of the dual bands reach 7.44 dBi and 6.67 dBi,respectively.This work provides a simple method for realizing multi-band terahertz multi-beam reconfigurable antennas.

文摘This paper presents a concurrent dual-band branch-line coupler with an independently tunable center frequency. In the proposed architecture, the quarter-wavelength lines, which work at two separated bands concurrently and can be tuned in one of them, are key components. Based on the analysis of ABCD-matrix, a novel hybrid structure and a pair of varactors topology are utilized to achieve concurrent dual-band operation and independent tunability, respectively. Using this configuration, it is convenient to tune the center frequency of the upper band, while the responses of the lower band remain unaltered. To verify the proposed idea, a demonstration is implemented and the simulated results are presented.

文摘A tunable absorber, composed of a graphene ribbon on two layers of TiO2-Au between two slabs of dielectric material all on a metal substrate, is designed and numerically investigated. The absorption of the composite structure varies with the geometrical parameters of the structure and the physical parameters of graphene at mid-infrared frequencies. The numerical simulation shows that a near-perfect absorption with single and alum bands can be achieved in a certain frequency range. We also analyze the electric and surface current distributions to study the dual-band absorber. The results show that the absorber can be tuned by the chemical potential and electron phonon relaxation time of graphene, and electromagnetically induced transparency phenomenon can be obtained. The results of this study may be beneficial in the fields of infrared communication, perfect absorbers, sensors and filters.

文摘A graphene-based tunable dual-band metamaterial absorber which is polarization insensitive is numerically pro- posed at mid-infrared frequencies. In numerical simulation the metamaterial absorber exhibits two absorption peaks at the resonance wavelengths of 6.246 μm and 6.837μm when the Fermi level of graphene is fixed at 0. 6 eV. Absorption spectra at different Fermi levels of graphene are displayed and tuning functions are discussed in detail. Both the resonance wavelengths of the absorber blue shift with the increase in Fermi level of graphene. Moreover, the surface current distributions on the gold resonator and ground plane at the two resonance wavelengths are simulated to deeply understand the physical mechanism of resonance absorption.

文摘A dual-band terahertz（THz） filter consisting of two different cross slots is designed and fabricated in a single molybdenum layer. Experimental verification by THz time-domain spectroscopy indicates good agreement with the simulation results. Owing to the weak coupling between the two neighboring cross slots in the unit cell, good selectivity performance can be easily achieved, both in the lower and higher bands, by tuning the dimensions of the two crosses. The physical mechanisms of the dual-band resonant are clarified by using three differently configured filters and electric field distribution diagrams. Owing to the rotational symmetry of the cross-shaped filter, the radiation at normal incidence is insensitive to polarization. Compared with the THz dual-band filters that were reported earlier, these filters also have the advantages of easy fabrication and low cost, which would find applications in dual-band sensors, THz communication systems, and emerging THz technologies.

文摘This study presents two multimode stepped-impedance structures to design single-and dual-band filters. Transmission zeroes are introduced for the single-band filter by using dual-mode stepped-impedance resonators. The single-band filter with high selectivity is centered at 6.02 GHz and has a fractional bandwidth （FBW） of 25.6%. Four stubs （two low frequency and two high frequency ones） are connected to the rectangular patch in the center to construct a quadruple-mode resonator. The independent conditions of the center frequencies of the high and low bands of the resonator are analyzed. A dual-band filter, which operates at 1.53 GHz and 2.44 GHz with FWBs of 12.1% and 14.1%, respectively is designed. The single-and dual-band filters are both fabricated with double-sided YBCO films and they can be used in mobile and satellite communications.

文摘Based on the substrate integrated waveguide technology, we present a dual-band frequency selective surface （FSS） with a quasi-elliptic bandpass response. The characteristics of the quasi-elliptic bandpass response are realized by shunting two substrate integrated waveguide cavities of different sizes, with the same slots on both sides of the metal surfaces. Four cavities of different sizes and two slots of different sizes are used to design the novel FSS. Every bandpass response with sharp sidebands is induced by two transmission nulls that are generated by the coupling between the slot aperture resonance and the cavity resonance. The simulation results show that such dual-band FSS has the advantages of high selectivity and stable performance at different oblique incident angles. Moreover, it is easy to fabricate.
