Tunable surface-plasmon-polariton-like modes based on graphene metamaterials in terahertz region

چکیده
Plasmonic response in graphene-based metamaterials show great potential for terahertz (THz) wave manipulation. In this work, we study the tunable surface-plasmon-polariton-like modes based on graphene complementary split ring resonators (CSRRs) in THz region. Our study suggests that these modes can be generated by graphene plasmonic metamaterials due to the diffraction coupling of surface plasmon and propagating electromagnetic (EM) wave. Furthermore, the modes can be tuned by stacking graphene plasmonic metamaterials layers or by changing the graphene Fermi level with electric field. Our results suggest graphene plasmonic metamaterials for both physical understanding and novel applications in THz region. 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

متن کاملGraphene plasmonics for tunable terahertz metamaterials.
Plasmons describe collective oscillations of electrons. They have a fundamental role in the dynamic responses of electron systems and form the basis of research into optical metamaterials. Plasmons of two-dimensional massless electrons, as present in graphene, show unusual behaviour that enables new tunable plasmonic metamaterials and, potentially, optoelectronic applications in the terahertz f...

The scattering of terahertz radiation on a graphene-based nano-patch antenna is numerically analyzed. The extinction cross section of the nano-antenna supported by silicon and silicon dioxide substrates of different thickness are calculated. Scattering resonances in the terahertz band are identified as Fabry–Perot resonances of surface plasmon polaritons supported by the graphene film. A strong...

Graphene terahertz (THz) surface plasmons provide hope for developing functional devices in the THz frequency. By coupling graphene surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) and a planar waveguide (PWG) mode, Fano resonances are demonstrated to realize an ultrasensitive terahertz biosensor. By analyzing the dispersion relation of graphene SPPs and PWG, the tunable Fano resonances in the terahertz frequ...
متن کاملFamily of graphene-assisted resonant surface optical excitations for terahertz devices
The majority of the proposed graphene-based THz devices consist of a metamaterial that can optically interact with graphene. This coupled graphene-metamaterial system gives rise to a family of resonant modes such as the surface plasmon polariton (SPP) modes of graphene, the geometrically induced SPPs, also known as the spoof SPP modes, and the Fabry-Perot (FP) modes. In the literature, these mo...
