Popis: We investigate a plasmonic resonant structure tunable from ultra-violet to near infrared wavelengths with maximum absorbance strength over 95% due to a highly efficient coupling with incident light. Additional harmonics are excited at higher frequencies extending the absorbance range to multiple wavelengths. We propose the concept of a plasmonic black metal nanoresonator that exhibits broadband absorbance characteristics by spacing the modes closer through increasing the resonator length and by employing adiabatic plasmonic nano-focusing on the tapered end of the cavity.
