Optical Properties of Porous Alumina Ceramics with Micron Open Cells

  • Published:
Journal of Applied Spectroscopy Aims and scope

Porous ceramic material is widely used in a great deal of fields. In this work, porous alumina ceramics with micron open cells are modeled by applying the inverse opal structure. The considered porous alumina ceramics are periodic with different size parameters. The diameters of spherical pores are 200, 400, 600, and 800 nm, while the ratios of height to diameter range from 0.1 to 0.9. The absorptivity, transmissivity, and reflectivity for the wavelength range from 0.2 to 2 μm are calculated using the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method. Then the effects of size parameters and incident angle on the optical properties are discussed. The results show that the absorptivity is usually very small. For the transmissivity, a wide dip in the transmission spectrum appears when the diameter and height exceed the critical values, and a red shift of the transmission spectrum's wide dip with increasing height is observed. When the incident wavelength is longer than the critical wavelength, the spectral transmissivities of porous ceramics with a certain diameter reach a stable domain. Moreover, the red shift of the wide dip, the critical incident wavelength, and the critical ratio of height to diameter are visibly affected by the size parameters and the incident angle.
