Applications of Tunable Mid-Infrared Plasmonic Square-Nanoring Resonator Based on Graphene Nanoribbon

Abstract

In this work, different structures are designed based on graphene square-nanoring resonator (GSNR) and simulated by the three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain (3D-FDTD) method. Depending on the location and number of graphene nanoribbons (GNR), the proposed structures can be utilized as a band-pass filter, wavelength demultiplexer, or power splitter in the mid-infrared (MIR) wavelengths. The tunability of the suggested assemblies is easily controlled by changing the dimensions and/or the chemical potential of the GSNRs.Benefiting from the nanoscale and ultra-compact GNRs, these structures can be proposed as basic blocks for optical computing and signal processing in the MIR region.
