▎ 摘  要

We study an active modulation of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) of Au nanoparticles based on highly doped graphene in visible and near-infrared regions. We find that compared to the traditional metal SPR, the SPR of Au nanoparticles based on graphene causes a remarkable blue shift. The field intensity in the gap is redistributed to standing wave. The field intensity of standing wave is about one order of magnitude higher than the traditional model. Moreover, the SPR of Au nanoparticles can be actively modulated by varying the graphene Fermi energy. We find the maximum modulation of field intensity of absorption spectra is more than 21.6 % at lambda = 822 nm and the amount of blue shift is 17.4 nm, which is about 2.14 % of the initial wavelength lambda(0) = 813.4 nm, with increasing monolayer graphene Fermi energy from 1.0 to 1.5 ev. We find that the SPR sensitivity to the refractive index n of the environment is about 642 nm per refractive index unit (RIU). The SPR wavelengths have a big blue shift, which is about 33 nm, with increasing number of graphene layers from 1 to 3, and some shoulders on the absorption spectra are observed in the models with multilayer graphene. Finally, we study the Au nanorod array based on monolayer graphene. We find that the blue shift caused by the graphene increases from 14 to 24 nm, with increasing gap g(y) from 10 to 20 nm. Then, it decreases from 24 to 14 nm, with increasing gap g(y) from 20 to 50 nm. This study provides a new way for actively modulating the optical and optoelectronic devices.
