Broadband metamaterial absorbers are of critical importance in practical applications, but their obtainment approaches are quite complex at present. We demonstrate here that a fairly simple structure design formed by a rectangular-shaped resonator having an elongated slot can be utilized to achieve a broadband absorption response at terahertz frequencies. More than 50% absorption in a continuous frequency range of 1.62 THz (with a central frequency of 2.05 THz) can be gained, and its relative absorption bandwidth is 79.02%, which is superior to that of previous broadband absorption devices. The basic principle of the broadband absorption originates from the superposition of four different but narrowly separated resonance peaks that resulted from different response positions of the suggested resonator. Results further reveal that the broadband terahertz absorption performance (or its four resonance peaks) can be controlled by the resonator dimensions. The suggested method can provide a new type of design strategy to realize broadband integrated terahertz absorption devices.
