Abstract
Perfect absorption of radiation in a graphene sheet may play a pivotal role in the realization of technologically relevant optoelectronic devices. In particular, perfect absorption of radiation in the terahertz (THz) spectral range would tremendously boost the utility of graphene in this difficult range of photon energies, which still lacks cheap and robust devices operating at room temperature. In this work we show that unpatterned graphene flakes deposited on appropriate substrates can display gate-tunable coherent perfect absorption (CPA) in the THz spectral range. We present theoretical estimates for the CPA operating frequency as a function of doping, which take into account the presence of common sources of disorder in graphene samples.

Summary
Marco Polini NEST, Istituto Nanoscienze-CNR and Scuola Normale Superiore, I-56126 Pisa, Italy and Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia, Graphene Labs, Via Morego 30, I-16163 Genova, Italy. In this work we show that unpatterned graphene flakes deposited on appropriate substrates can display gate-tunable coherent perfect absorption (CPA) in the THz spectral range. This paper explores the theoretical limitations to total optical absorption for an unpatterned graphene sheet lying on a substrate, with light incident from free space onto the graphene.
