Abstract

Graphene based heat mirror (i.e., graphene/Cu/graphene multilayer coating) was designed and developed to achieve enhanced optical absorption with tunable spectral selectivity. The concept of a heat mirror and a high/low/high refractive index stack was used to develop the graphene/Cu/graphene absorber and the transition from high transmittance to high absorptance was realized on quartz substrates. The thickness of the Cu layer has an important role in creating the destructive interference, for achieving high absorptance and low emittance. The refractive index of the multilayer graphene transferred on Si substrate was studied using phase-modulated spectroscopic ellipsometry. An absorptance of 0.91 and emittance of 0.22 was achieved for the SiO2/graphene/ Cu/graphene multilayer coating. For the first time, the feasibility of graphene/Cu/graphene multilayer coating for photothermal applications have been demonstrated.
