Tunable anisotropic absorption in monolayer black phosphorus using critical coupling

We present a monolayer black phosphorus (BP)-based metamaterial structure for tunable anisotropic absorption in the mid-infrared. Based on the critical coupling mechanism of guided resonance, the structure realizes the high absorption efficiency of 99.65$\%$ for TM polarization, while only 2.61$\%$ at the same wavelength for TE polarization due to the intrinsic anisotropy of BP. The absorption characteristics can be flexibly controlled by changing critical coupling conditions, including the electron doping of BP, geometric parameters and incident angles of light. The results show feasibility in designing high-performance BP-based optoelectronic devices with spectral tunability and polarization selectivity.
