In order to remarkably enhance the absorption capability of monolayer molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), a broadband MoS2-based perfect absorber, which is inspired by metamaterial, is proposed. By using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations, the absorption of proposed MoS2-based absorber above 94% is achieved from 594 to 809 nm. Meanwhile, the average absorptions of monolayer MoS2 enhanced up to 27% and 67% are realized from 598 to 671 nm and 710 to 801 nm, respectively. By manipulating related structural parameters, the absorption spectrum can be further broadened and shifted in a wide wavelength range. Furthermore, the proposed absorber can tolerate a relatively wide range of incident angles and demonstrate polarization-independence.
