Graphene-based plasmonic electro-absorption modulator on InP platform

Abstract

Graphene is an attractive material for photonic devices due to its many extraordinary properties including strong coupling with light, high-speed operation, and tunable optical guidance, which make it suitable for electro-optic modulators. Several types of graphene-based electro-optic modulators have been reported on several light-guiding platforms, including silicon-on-insulator (SOI) in this article we propose a novel design based on InP platform which is suitable for monolithic design approach.
