Coupled Resonance Enhanced Modulation for a Graphene-Loaded Metamaterial Absorber

Abstract A graphene-loaded metamaterial absorber is investigated in the mid-infrared region. The light-graphene interaction is greatly enhanced by virtue of the coupled resonance through a cross-shaped slot. The absorption peaks show a significant blueshift with increasing Fermi level, enabling a wi...

Description
Summary:Abstract A graphene-loaded metamaterial absorber is investigated in the mid-infrared region. The light-graphene interaction is greatly enhanced by virtue of the coupled resonance through a cross-shaped slot. The absorption peaks show a significant blueshift with increasing Fermi level, enabling a wide range of tunability for the absorber. A simple circuit model well explains and predicts this modulation behavior. Our proposal may find applications in a variety of areas such as switching, sensing, modulating, and biochemical detecting.
