All-dielectric metasurfaces enabled by quasi-BIC for high-<i>Q</i> near-perfect light absorption
All-dielectric metasurface (ADM) absorbers driven by quasi-bound states in the continuum (BIC) are critical for high-performance optoelectronic devices due to their ability to offer high <i>Q</i>-factor absorption. However, these all-dielectric metasurfaces usually require the aid of degenerate critical coupling schemes or back-metal reflective layers to achieve high absorption, which often suffers from limitations such as sensitive geometrical parameters, ohmic losses, and low <i>Q</i>-factors. This work presents an ADM for high-<i>Q</i> near-perfect light absorption, which consists of double Si nanorods and SiO<sub>2</sub>/Ta<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> multilayers. By breaking the symmetry of the length of the Si nanorods, this ADM can excite a single quasi-BIC resonance corresponding to the electric dipole. Without introducing a metal layer, we realize the highly asymmetric coupling of quasi-BIC by only 6 layers of SiO<sub>2</sub>/Ta<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> films. It is theoretically and numerically demonstrated that the quasi-BIC has more than 98% absorption at 943.68 nm and a <i>Q</i>-factor as high as 2842. In addition, the ADM exhibits excellent tolerance to geometrical parameters while ensuring high absorption performance. Our results provide new ideas for the design of all-dielectric perfect absorbers with large tolerances and high <i>Q</i>-factors and also open up new possibilities for optical filtering, optical sensing, and photon detection devices.
