Simulated absorption spectra of the (a) OWB and (b) planar metamaterial absorbers under the x- and y-polarizations with 100-nm-thick PMMA. The OWB metamaterial absorber could couple to all the four molecular vibration modes while the planar metamaterial absorber only showed the superposition of absorption magnitude even for the O = C = O stretching vibrational mode of CO2.
