Tunable plasmon-induced transparency with graphene-based T-shaped array metasurfaces

Abstract The frequency tunable Plasmonic induced transparency (PIT) effect is researched with a periodically patterned T-shaped graphene array in mid-infrared region. We adjust the geometrical parameters to obtain the optimized combination for the realization of the PIT response and use the coupled Lorentz oscillator model to analysis the physical mechanism. Due to the properties of graphene, the PIT effect can be easily and markedly enhanced with the increase of chemical potential and carrier mobility. The frequency of PIT effect is also insensitive with the angle of incident light. In addition, we also propose the π shaped structure to realizing the double-peak PIT effect. The results offer a flexible approach for the development of tunable graphene-based photonic devices.
