▎ 摘　　要

We studied numerically the potential use of a micro-size graphene strip as a surface plasmon (SP) resonance-based bulk refractive-index sensor in the THz frequency regime. Our accurate computational instrument was an in-house algorithm based on integral equations (IEs) and Nystrom discretization. The refractive-index sensitivities and figure-of-merit (FOM) values of the associated plasmon resonances were calculated. It was found that the primary plasmon mode P-1 is more sensitive to the refractive-index changes than plasmons of higher orders, although the latter demonstrated much larger FOM values explained by the higher Q-factors. The FOM values of the higher-order resonances on a graphene strip in the THz range are at a level similar to the FOM values of the localized SP resonances on a noble-metal strip in the optical range.
