▎ 摘　　要

An ultrathin heterogeneous nanostructure consisting of periodic orthorhombic-phase molybdenum trioxide (alpha-MoO3), graphene nanoribbons, and a dielectric spacer layer has been proposed. Coupling between a hyperbolic phonon polariton from alpha-MoO3 and a surface plasmon polariton from graphene leads to the presence of reciprocal polariton-induced transparency (RPoIT). The near-field coupling is further evaluated by combining the current distribution values of the multipole decomposition. The RPoIT can be controlled by changing the structural parameters and tuning the chemical potential of graphene. Effects of the incidence angle and polarization angle have been investigated thoroughly from the finite-difference time-domain calculations. The potential applications in the refractive index sensor and mid-infrared (MIR) absorbers have also been investigated. This research provides a clear understanding and practical guidance for the realization of tunable RPoIT, which is desirable from the development of nano-devices and multifunctional hybrid polarization devices in the MIR region.
