Confined surface plasmon of fundamental wave and second harmonic waves in graphene nanoribbon arrays

Abstract

The confined surface plasmon of fundamental wave and second harmonic wave (SHW) are investigated in graphene grating structure. The linear-optical absorption spectra with various fermi energy and carrier mobility are investigated with the finite difference time domain (FDTD) simulations and coupled mode theory (CMT). Based on the CMT, a theoretical model for the graphene grating is established to study the spectrum features of fundamental wave. The lifetimes of linear-optical resonant modes in theoretical model are investigated through the theoretical fitting of exact values in simulation, which are tunable with both the fermi energy and carrier mobility. We also have investigated the second-order nonlinearity of graphene grating by introducing the second-order nonlinear source. The proposed configuration and method are useful for research of the absorption, local field enhancement factor, lifetime of light, and nonlinear optical processes in highly integrated graphene photoelectric devices.
