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.

Graphene Plasmons

Photonic waveguides with graphene layers have been recently studied for their potential as fast and low-power electro-optic modulators with small footprints. We show that in the optical wavelength range of 1.55 μm, surface plasmons supported by the graphene layer with the chemical potential exceeding ~0.5 eV can couple with the waveguide mode and affect its propagation. This effect might be possibly utilized in technical applications as a very low-power amplitude modulation, temperature sensing, etc.

AbstractA strategy is proposed to achieve wideband tunable perfect plasmonic absorption in graphene nanoribbons by employing attenuated total refraction (ATR) in Otto prism configuration. In this configuration, the Otto prism with a deep-subwavelength dielectric spacer is used to generate tunneling evanescent waves to excite localized plasmons in graphene nanoribbons. The influence of the configuration parameters on the absorption spectra of graphene plasmons is studied systematically, and the key finding is that perfect absorption can be achieved by actively controlling the incident angle of light under ATR conditions, which provides an effective degree of freedom to tune the absorption properties of graphene plasmons. Based on this result, it is further demonstrated that by simultaneously tuning the incident angle and the graphene Fermi energy, the tunable absorption waveband can be significantly enlarged, which is about 3 times wider than the conventional cavity-enhanced configuration. Our proposed strategy to achieve wideband, tunable graphene plasmons could be useful in various infrared plasmonic devices.
