Enhancing the infrared window transmittance of zinc sulfide (ZnS) is important to improve the performance of infrared detector systems. In this work, a new hybrid micro/nanostructure was fabricated by an optimal Bessel femtosecond laser on ZnS substrate. The surface morphologies and profiles of ASS ablated by a 20× microscope objective Bessel beam are described, indicating that the nanoripples on the micropore were formed by the SPP interference and the SPP scattering in a particular direction. Further, the maximum average transmittance of ASS increased by 9.7% and 12.3% in the wavelength ranges of 5~12 μm and 8~12 μm, respectively. Finally, the antireflective mechanism of the hybrid micro/nanostructure is explored using the novel electromagnetic field model based on the FDTD method, and we attribute the stable antireflective performance of ASS in broadband to the interface effective dielectric effect and LLFE.
