Scattering and absorption of terahertz waves by a free-standing infinite grating of graphene strips: analytical regularization analysis

Abstract

The plane wave scattering and absorption by an infinite flat graphene strip grating in the free space are studied in the THz range in the H- and E-polarization regimes. Accurate numerical treatment is based on the dual series equations and the analytical regularization technique. The resulting numerical algorithm possesses guaranteed convergence and controlled accuracy of computations. Reflectance, transmittance and absorbance by the graphene-strip gratings are studied as a function of various parameters. In the H-polarization case, the dominant feature is the excitation of the surface plasmon resonances on each strip. In the E-polarization case, Rayleigh anomalies are the only observable features.
