Abstract
OMSOL finite element modeling and theoretical analysis performed using Fresnel's equations and then compared with the corresponding experimental results. The measured absorption characteristics of the stack agree well with the analysis. In addition, the thickness of the metal film was optimized for maximizing the THz absorption of the stack.
