▎ 摘  要

We investigate the dispersion of the Tamm states at the interface of a 1D graphene-based photonic crystal and a nonlinear dielectric slab. We use the nonlinear transfer matrix method to obtain the dispersion of the Tamm states in both the graphene induced and Bragg gaps in the terahertz region. We explore the spectral tunability of the surface modes by adjusting parameters such as the thickness of the nonlinear slab, the intensity of the surface modes, and the chemical potential of graphene layers. We reveal that the penetration depth of the graphene induced bandgap modes in the uniform environment is several times greater than that of the conventional Bragg gap modes. Also, it is shown that we can improve the penetration depth of the surface modes by adjusting the thickness of the nonlinear slab, the intensity of the Tamm states, or the chemical potential of the graphene layers.
