Background: : A THz Plasmonic Waveguide Based on Graphene Coated Bow-tie Nanowire (TPW-GCBN) is proposed. The waveguide characteristics are investigated by using Finite Element Method (FEM). The influence of the geometric parameters on propagation constants, electric field distributions, effective mode areas, and propagation lengths are obtained numerically. The performance tunability of TPW-GCBN is also studied by adjusting the Fermi energy (FE). The simulation results show that the TPW-GCBN has better mode confinement ability. The TPW-GCBN has potential applications in high density integration of photonic circuit for the future tunable micro nano optoelectronic devices. Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) based waveguides have been widely used to enhance the local electric fields. It also has the capability of manipulating electromagnetic fields on the deep-subwavelength. Objective:: The waveguide characteristics of a THz Plasmonic Waveguide Based on Graphene Coated Bow-tie Nanowire (TPW-GCBN) should be investigated. The tunability of TPW-GCBN should be studied by adjusting the chemical potential (FE) which can be changed by the voltage. Method: : The mode analysis and parameter sweep in Finite Element Method (FEM) were used to simulate the TPW-GCBN for analyzing effective refractive index (neff), electric field distributions, normalized mode areas (Am), propagation length (Lp) and figure of merit (FoM). Results: : At 5 THz, Aeff of λ2/14812, Lp of ~2 μm and FoM of 25 can be achieved. The simulation results show that the TPW-GBN has good mode confinement ability and flexible tunability. Conclusion:: The TPW-GBN provides a new freedom to manipulate the graphene surface plasmons, and leads to new applications in high density integration of photonic circuit for tunable integrated optical devices.
