Multi-spectral materials, using hybridised plasmonic and metamaterial structures, can simultaneously exhibit unique resonant phenomena over several decades of wavelengths. A multi-spectral material that combines a plasmonic colour filter array and a terahertz metamaterial absorber into a single material is a promising prospect for a coaxial multi-spectral imager operating in the visible, near IR, and terahertz wavebands.
