Enhanced absorption of monolayer molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) using nanostructures with symmetrical cross resonator in the visible ranges

In order to enhance the absorption of monolayer molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), a novel nanostructure with symmetrical cross resonator based on MoS2 in the visible wavelength ranges has been proposed. At a resonant wavelength of 623 nm, the absorption of monolayer MoS2 in the absorption structure is as high as 82%, much higher than the bare MoS2 in the air. The electric field around monolayer MoS2 is enhanced by the guided mode resonance, thereby enhancing the absorption of monolayer MoS2 in the structure. The relevant parameters of the proposed structure are adjusted to achieve the tunability of the resonant wavelength in the visible ranges and the high-efficiency absorption of monolayer MoS2 in the structure, which is of great significance for the applications of MoS2-based optoelectronic devices.
