Graphene-based tunable terahertz and infrared band-pass filter

Appl Opt. 2013 Aug 1;52(22):E68-72. doi: 10.1364/AO.52.000E68.

Abstract

This paper presents a sheet of graphene as a simple band-pass filter in terahertz and infrared frequencies. The central frequency and quality factor of this band-pass filter can be tuned by changing the physical parameters, such as the substrate thickness, gate voltage, temperature, and conductivity of the graphene. The effects of these parameters on surface plasmon polariton waves and filter specifications are numerically depicted.
