石墨烯介质堆栈提高系统调控Fano共振能力

为了更加有效地利用亚波长光栅/介质波导结构调控Fano共振，使用石墨烯介质堆栈代替石墨烯单层作为缓冲层，采用严格耦合波分析方法仿真改进后的结构，研究了堆栈单元中纳米级介质厚度增强石墨烯电导率的变化对整个堆栈结构等效介电常数的影响。结果表明，若系统作为高效光开关使用，则所需的石墨烯化学势改变由原来的0.06eV减小到了0.02eV，且开关调制深度高达94%；若系统作为可调谐吸波体使用，则其频率调制深度由原来的0.14THz增加到了0.36THz，大大扩展了吸收谱的调节范围。改进的结构提高了系统调控Fano的能力。

Improvement of system tunability for Fano resonance by graphene-dielectric stack

To enhance the tunability of subwavelength grating/waveguide structure for Fano resonance, the embedded graphene monolayer was replaced by graphene-dielectric stack as a buffer layer. The improved structure was simulated by using the method of rigorous coupled-wave analysis. Nanoscale dielectric thickness in each stack cell can strengthen the effects of the alteration of graphene's conductivity on the equivalent permittivity of stack structure. The results show that, if the system is exploited as an efficient photoswitch, the demanded change of chemical potential of grapheme decreases from original 0.06eV down to 0.02eV and the modulation depth of the switch is up to 94%. If the system is employed as a tunable absorber, the frequency modulation depth of absorption spectrum is raised from 0.14THz to 0.36THz and the tuning range is extended greatly. The improved structure strengthens the tunability of system for Fano resonance.
