摘要：We report a new type of coherent perfect absorption that is determined by the phase coupling between metaatoms and is referred to as the phase-coupled simultaneous coherent perfect absorption (PC-SCPA) for antisymmetric and symmetric incidences and especially the PC-SCPA for antisymmetric and symmetric incidences can be simultaneously achieved in the same bi-layered Schottky junction metamaterial possessing the phase coupling. Our proposed mechanism exploits the phase coupling between metaatoms, which is in contrast with the existing mechanism which depends on the near-field coupling. The theory of PC-SCPA is provided using coupled mode theory with the phase coupling. The operating wavelengths of PC-SCPA are insensitive to the variations of the spacing distances between metaatoms in the lateral and vertical directions. An infrared PC-SCPA-based hot-electron photodetection with dynamically switchable operating wavelengths and dynamically tunable bandwidth is theoretically and numerically verified in the same bi-layered Schottky junction metamaterial. The peak of spectrum of responsivity for antisymmetric and symmetric incidences can be switched to the same wavelength only by altering the phase coupling. Our study may build the bridge among the new type of PC-SCPA, metamaterial, and hot electron and may find potential and significant applications in hot-electron photodetection.
