Tunable plasmonic filter based on graphene-layered waveguide

Abstract

We propose a tunable band-stop plasmonic filter based on monolayer graphene with different thickness of structure, and the corresponding transmission characteristic is numerically investigated by using finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. The results show that the proposed filter can achieve a broad stopband that can be tuned by various physical parameters such as the chemical potential of graphene, the thickness of packing layers and so on. Our studies may be important for designing tunable optical filter, the fabrication of nano-integrated plasmonic circuits and the refractive index sensitive sensors.
