| In this paper, the results of studies on sub-micrometer planar structures used for aimed frequency-dependent electromagnetic radiation dissipation are presented. The proposed specific geometry of periodic parts of surface structures should enable the occurrence of phenomena related to selective reflectance and interference. The inner porous structure should lead to the formation of destructive interference of electromagnetic radiation and its dissipation. The investigated structures were irradiated by a Gaussian-type radiation source. The propagation was analyzed using the MEEP software package for electromagnetic simulation via the finite-difference time-domain method. The reflectance spectra were obtained by the Fourier transform of the response to the short pulse. The obtained results showed that the surface structures are mainly responsible for reflected electromagnetic spectrum composition, while the porous parts were responsible for thermal radiation dissipation. |
