High-Quality Graphene-Based Tunable Absorber Based on Double-Side Coupled-Cavity Effect

Graphene-based devices have important applications attributed to their superior performance and flexible tunability in practice. In this paper, a new kind of absorber with monolayer graphene sandwiched between two layers of dielectric rings is proposed. Two peaks with almost complete absorption are...

description Graphene-based devices have important applications attributed to their superior performance and flexible tunability in practice. In this paper, a new kind of absorber with monolayer graphene sandwiched between two layers of dielectric rings is proposed. Two peaks with almost complete absorption are realized.
