Abstract

Manipulating the circular polarization of light is of great importance in chemistry and biology, as chiral molecules exhibit different physiological properties when exposed to different circularly polarized waves. Here we suggest a graphene/dielectric-stacked structure, which has both the properties of an epsilon-near-zero material and the high Hall conductivity of graphene. The proposed sub-wavelength structure demonstrates efficient manipulation of circular polarization properties of light. In a quite broad frequency range and at a large oblique incidence angle, the present magnetically active structure is transparent for one circularly polarized wave, and opaque for another. Such an effect can be further tuned by changing the magnitude of the applied magnetic field and chemical potential of graphene.

Fig. 2 (a) and (b) The dependence of the frequency of ENZ with respect to both magnetic field B and chemical potential µ_c. (c) and (d) The real part of the off-diagonal element g as a function of magnetic field B and the chemical potential µ_c. In (a)-(d), the points a₁-a₄ correspond to the situations where the value of µ_c is fixed to 0.2 eV and increase the magnitude of magnetic field from 1 T to 7 T with a step of 2 T. The points b₁-b₄ correspond to the situations where the magnitude of B is fixed to 3 T and the chemical potential µ_c increases from 0.15 eV to 0.3 eV with a step of 0.05 eV. (e) and (f) Transmittance of the forward RCP and LCP waves through ENZ graphene/dielectric-stack slab as a function of the slab thickness. The lines correspond to the points a_i(i = 1,2,3,4) in (a) and (b) with different applied magnetic fields. (g) and (h) Transmittance of the forward RCP and LCP waves as a function of the slab thickness, with a different chemical potential (corresponding to points b_i, i = 1,2,3,4). Panels to the left correspond to τ = 2 ps while right panels are for τ = 0.2 ps. The dielectric thickness t_d is 50 nm and the environmental temperature is 300 K.

Fig. 4 The transmission and reflection of both the RCP and LCP waves with the oblique incidence of the RCP wave (a) and LCP wave (b). T_rr is the conversion coefficient from the incident RCP wave to the transmitted RCP wave. T_ij and R_ij are the conversion coefficients of the circularly polarized waves, e.g., T_rr is the conversion coefficient from the incident RCP wave to the transmitted RCP wave, and R_lr is the conversion coefficient from incident RCP wave to reflected LCP wave.
