▎ 摘  要

We study the mode and dispersion properties of graphene-dielectric nonlinear plasmonic waveguide considering the dual nonlinearity of dielectric and graphene. For TM polarization, the mode distribution, the permittivity distribution, and dispersion relation were obtained by numerically solving the Maxwell equations. Compared with the case considering only the nonlinearity of dielectric, the initial field intensity to excite plasmon modes reduces obviously when introducing the dual nonlinearity. In addition, the influence of dual nonlinearity on dispersion relation is discussed, and we find that the graphene's nonlinearity affects strongly the dispersion properties. The introduction of dual nonlinearity leads to the decrease of the initial field intensity, which has potential application in all-optical switches with low threshold.
