Tunable deep-subwavelength superscattering using graphene monolayers.

چکیده
In this Letter, we theoretically propose for the first time that graphene monolayers can be used for superscatterer designs. We show that the scattering cross-section of the bare deep-subwavelength dielectric cylinder is markedly enhanced by six orders of magnitude due to the excitation of the first-order resonance of graphene plamons. By utilizing the tunability of the plasmonic resonance through tuning graphene's chemical potential, the graphene superscatterer works in a wide range of frequencies from several terahertz to tens of terahertz.

Tunable subwavelength photonic lattices and solitons in periodically patterned graphene monolayer.
We study linear and nonlinear mode properties in a periodically patterned graphene sheet. We demonstrate that a subwavelength one-dimensional photonic lattice can be defined across the graphene monolayer, with its modulation depth and correspondingly the associated photonic band structures being controlled rapidly, by an external gate voltage. We find the existences of graphene lattice solitons...
متن کاملTunable Terahertz Deep Subwavelength Imaging Based on a Graphene Monolayer
The resolution of conventional terahertz (THz) imaging techniques is limited to about half wavelength, which is not fine enough for applications of biomedical sensing and nondestructive testing. To improve the resolution, a new superlens, constructed by a monolayer graphene sheet combining with a grating voltage gate, are proposed in this paper to achieve deep super-resolution imaging in the TH...
متن کاملSuperscattering of a pseudospin-1 wave in a photonic lattice
We uncover a superscattering behavior of a pseudospin-1 wave from weak scatterers in the subwavelength regime where the scatterer size is much smaller than the wavelength. The phenomenon manifests itself as unusually strong scattering characterized by extraordinarily large values of the cross section even for arbitrarily weak scatterer strength. We establish analytically and numerically that th...
متن کاملFrom Fano-like Interference to Superscattering with Single Metallic Nanodisk
Superscattering was theoretically proposed to significantly enhance the scattering cross section of a subwavelength nanostructure, far exceeding its single-resonance limit by employing resonances of multiple plasmonic modes. By numerical simulation, we design a subwavelength nanodisk as a simple candidate to achieve superscattering. Due to the phase retardation, the subradiant mode can be excit...
