▎ 摘 要
Placing graphene on uniaxial substrates may have interesting application potential for graphene-based photonic and optoelectronic devices. Here, we analytically derive the dispersion relation for graphene plasmons on uniaxial substrates and discuss their momentum, propagation length, and polarization as a function of frequency, propagation direction, and both ordinary and extraordinary dielectric permittivities of the substrate. We find that the plasmons exhibit an anisotropic propagation, yielding radially asymmetric field patterns when a point emitter launches plasmons in the graphene layer. (C) 2014 AIP Publishing LLC.
