▎ 摘 要
A thermally/electrically tunable graphene on white graphene polarizer is proposed, in which the resonant coupling between the plasmonic surface modes of the structure and the transverse electric (TE) [or transverse magnetic (TM)] polarized incident wave is used to absorb this polarization, while the TM (or TE) polarized incident wave is totally reflected. It is then shown that the thermal and electrical tunability of surface conductivity of graphene can be used to control the optical properties of the proposed polarizer, including the selection of the desired polarization, and adjusting the amplitude of the reflected (desired) polarization. The application of the hexagonal boron-nitride (white graphene) as the substrate of graphene increases the propagation of the surface waves of the structure, which in turn results in the very high polarization extinction ratio of 75 dB. Moreover, the ultra-small insertion loss of 0.022 dB and relatively large bandwidth of similar to 60 nm are calculated for the proposed polarizer.
