Graphene perfect absorber with loss adaptive Q-factor control function enabled by quasi-bound states in the continuum

Abstract Numerous device structures have been proposed for perfect absorption in monolayer graphene under single-sided illumination, all of which requires the critical coupling condition, i.e., the balance between the loss of graphene and the leakage rate of the device. However, due to the difficult...
