Abstract

Magnetic polariton (MP) that couples electromagnetic waves with magnetic excitation can be predicted by equivalent inductor–capacitor (LC) circuit model. However, when the resonance frequencies of MP and surface phonon polariton (SPhP) is close, the absorption and transmission peaks predicted by LC circuit model are far different from solving electromagnetic field calculation results. In this work, absorption and transmission enhancements with a SiC slit array are theoretically demonstrated within the SiC phonon absorption band with finite difference time-domain (FDTD) method. The interactions between SPhP and MP are confirmed by electromagnetic field distributions. Mutual inductor–inductor–capacitor (MLC) circuit model is used to predict the multiorder MP resonance conditions, and the coupling between MP and SPhP is treated as a mutual inductor in MLC model. The geometric effects of SiC slit arrays are investigated and MLC circuit model works well. This study may contribute to the design and prediction of thermal radiative properties and micro-/nanostructure metamaterials thermal radiative properties database building.
