High Sensitivity Terahertz Biosensor Based on Goos-Hänchen Effect in Graphene

Terahertz biosensing provides a suitable method to identify biomolecules due to their rich spectral fingerprint in this electromagnetic region. However, owing to the limitations of terahertz sources and detectors, the signal is weak and requires to be enhanced by particular technologies. In this pap...
