Abstract
We investigate the topological interface modes of surface plasmon polaritons in a multilayer system composed of graphene waveguide arrays. The topological interface modes emerge when two topologically distinct graphene multilayer arrays are connected. In such multilayer system, the non-trivial topological interface modes and trivial modes coexist. By tuning the configuration of the graphene multilayer arrays, the associated non-trivial interface modes present robust against structural disorder. The total number of topological modes is related to that of graphene layers in a unit cell of the graphene multilayer array. The results provide a new paradigm for topologically protected plasmonics in the graphene multilayer arrays. The study suggests a promising approach to realize light transport and optical switching on a deep-subwavelength scale.
