The absorber was fabricated as a monolayer of ZrO2 microparticles on a tungsten layer with a HfO2 nanocoating. The band edge of the absorption is based on critically coupled microsphere resonances. It can be tuned from visible to near-infrared range by varying the diameter of the microparticles. The absorption properties were found to be stable up to 1000°C.
