Excitation of SPP's in graphene by a waveguide mode
| Resumo: | We present a semi-analytical model that predicts the excitation of surface-plasmon polaritons (SPP) on a graphene sheet located in front of a sub-wavelength slit drilled in thick metal screen. We identify the signature of the SPP in the transmission, reflection, and absorption curves. Following previous literature on noble-metal plasmonics, we characterize the efficiency of excitation of SPP's in graphene computing a spatial probability density. This quantity shows the presence of plasmonics resonances dispersing with the Fermi energy, $E_F$, as $\sqrt{E_F}$ an unambiguous signature of graphene plasmons. |
