Carrier-induced modulation of radiation by a gated graphene

الأصل · EN

The modulation of the transmitted (reflected) radiation due to change of interband transitions under variation of carriers concentration by the gate voltage is studied theoretically. The calculations were performed for strongly doped graphene on high-K (Al₂O₃, HfO₂, AlN, and ZrO₂) or SiO₂ substrates under normal propagation of radiation. We have obtained the modulation depth above 10% depending on wavelength, gate voltage (i.e. carriers concentration), and parameters of substrate. The graphene - dielectric substrate - doped Si (as gate) structures can be used as an effective electrooptical modulator of near-IR and mid-IR radiation for the cases of high-K and SiO₂ substrates, respectively.
