Abstract Graphene plasmons with enhanced localized electric field have been used for boosting the light-matter interaction in linear optical nano-devices. Meanwhile, graphene is an excellent nonlinear material for several third-order nonlinear processes. We present a theoretical investigation of the mechanism of plasmon-enhanced third-order nonlinearity susceptibility of graphene nanoribbons. It is demonstrated that the third-order nonlinearity susceptibility of graphene nanoribbons with excited graphene surface plasmon polaritons can be an order of magnitude larger than the intrinsic susceptibility of a continuous graphene sheet. Combining these properties with the relaxed phase matching condition due to the ultrathin graphene, we propose a novel plasmon-enhanced mid-infrared wavelength converter with arrays of graphene nanoribbons. The wavelength of sig-nal light is in mid-infrared range, which can excite the tunable surface plasmon polaritons in arrays of graphene nanoribbons. The efficiency of the converter from mid-infrared to near-infrared wavelength can be remarkably improved by 60 times compared with the graphene sheet without graphene plasmons. This work provides a novel idea for the efficient application of graphene in the nonlinear optical nano-devices. The proposed mid-infrared wavelength converter is compact, tunable and has promising potential in graphene-based mid-infrared detector with high detection efficiency.

In this study, a label-free multi-resonant graphene-based biosensor with periodic graphene nanoribbons is proposed for detection of composite vibrational fingerprints in the mid-infrared range. The multiple vibrational signals of biomolecules are simultaneously enhanced and detected by different resonances in the transmission spectrum. Each of the transmission dips can be independently tuned by altering the gating voltage applied on the corresponding graphene nanoribbon. Geometric parameters are investigated and optimized to obtain excellent sensing performance. Limit of detection is also evaluated in an approximation way. Besides, the biosensor can operate in a wide range of incident angles. Electric field intensity distributions are depicted to reveal the physical insight. Moreover, another biosensor based on periodic graphene nanodisks is further proposed, whose performance is insensitive to the polarization of incidence. Our research may have a potential for designing graphene-based biosensor used in many promising bioanalytical and pharmaceutical applications.

Abstract In this work, different structures are designed based on graphene square-nanoring resonator (GSNR) and simulated by the three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain (3D-FDTD) method. Depending on the location and number of graphene nanoribbons (GNR), the proposed structures can be utilized as a band-pass filter, wavelength demultiplexer, or power splitter in the mid-infrared (MIR) wavelengths. The tunability of the suggested assemblies is easily controlled by changing the dimensions and/or the chemical potential of the GSNRs. Benefiting from the nanoscale and ultra-compact GNRs, these structures can be proposed as basic blocks for optical computing and signal processing in the MIR region.
