Truncated spherical voids nanostructured tungsten films are shown to have nearly perfect absorption with characteristics of broad-band, polarization-independent and wide-incidence angle in near infrared and visible regime. Through optimizing material and structural parameters, we can achieve the absorbance above 90% from 420THz to 600THz within incidence angle from 0 degrees to 60 degrees for TE polarization and from 450THz to 800THz within incidence angle from 0 degrees to 75 degrees for TM polarization. In particular, absorbance can achieve 99.9% at 550.5THz for both polarizations under normal incidence. Such strong absorption is explained using multilayer effective media theory and cavity resonance. (C)2011 Optical Society of America
