Abstract
We show that polarization-independent coherent perfect absorption can be realized in a simple dipole-like metasurface by precisely engineering the ratio between the scattering loss and the dissipation loss . This effect can be traced to a critical condition on the scattering matrix in a dipolar picture, which requires that the scattering and dissipation losses are equivalent, i.e., , at the resonant frequency . This work expands the capability of metasurface in getting extreme optical properties, allowing for many potential applications.
