▎ 摘　　要

In this article, a temporal coupled-mode theory (CMT) formalism is proposed to design graphene-based metasurface (MTS) structures. Such structures may be nonuniform and synthesized by numerous graphene resonators. To obtain a desired functionality, such MTSs may be designed, by performing multiple parametric analyses of the structure's geometric parameters. An accurate calculation of their response may be attained by a full-wave vectorial finite-element method (VFEM), by modeling graphene as a surface boundary condition; however, it requires high computational resources, especially for larger configurations. CMT offers an appealing time- and memory-efficient alternative, by solving a sparse system of equations, of particularly small size, fed by the results of simpler and smaller simulations, with the ability to take into account graphene dispersion. CMT may be used to design more complex MTS structures, by providing approximate and preliminary results, which shall be used as a starting point for the final FEM fine-tuning.
