Abstract

Graphene plasmonics is a promising building block for high speed communication devices that takes advantage of strong confinement of the electromagnetic energy at sub-wavelength scales, tunable via charge carrier density through a gate voltage.[1] The fabrication of integrated optoelectronic devices based on graphene plasmons however is extremely challenging, and launching and conveying graphene plasmons in efficient and reliable systems at practical length scales still represents an open challenge.
