To realize a broadband and highly efficient electromagnetic wave absorber, we developed a structure by coating a 100 nm-thick pyrolytic carbon (PyC) film onto a periodic pyramid array with a period of 67 µm and a height of 240 µm. Spectral measurements demonstrated that the fabricated absorber achieved over 98% absorption across a wide frequency range from 1 to 1200 THz. To investigate the origin of this exceptional absorption performance, numerical simulations were conducted. This structure shows great potential for applications in communication technologies, radio astronomy, and thermal radiation sources.
