description In this work, we theoretically propose an anisotropic metasurface absorber, unit cell of which consists of a continuous monolayer black phosphorus (BP) sheet, sandwiched between a circular silver ring and a dielectric layer stacking on a silver substrate. Numerical results reveal that perfect enhancement absorption can be achieved in both armchair and zigzag directions, in which the resonant absorption peaks occur at different wavelengths due to the anisotropic property of BP. The calculated results by finite-difference time domain (FDTD) simulations have a good agreement with the coupled-mode theory. The physical mechanism of the perfect absorption is attributable to the critical coupling effect. Furthermore, the anisotropic perfect absorber not only exhibits tunable characteristics by varying the electron doping concentration, but also shows a wide-angle tolerance. In addition, our proposed absorber can achieve an arbitrary number of absorption bands by setting a suitable thickness of the dielectric layer. These results may have great potential applications in spectral imaging and photodetectors in the mid-infrared region.
