TLDR
A polarization-sensitive tunable absorber that can have practical applications such as high-efficiency polarization detectors and transmissive polarizer is designed and fabricated.
Abstract
A broadband tunable absorber is designed and fabricated. The tunable absorber is comprised of a dielectric-metal-dielectric multilayer and plasmonic grating. A large size of tunable absorber device is fabricated by nano-imprinting method. The experimental results show that over 90% absorption can be achieved within visible and near-infrared regimes. Moreover, the high absorption can be controlled by changing the polarization of incident light. This polarization-sensitive tunable absorber can have practical applications such as high-efficiency polarization detectors and transmissive polarizer.

Taming the blackbody with infrared metamaterials as selective thermal emitters.

TL;DR: This Letter demonstrates, for the first time, selective thermal emitters based on metamaterial perfect absorbers and finds that emissivity and absorptivity agree very well as predicted by Kirchhoff's law of thermal radiation.
