▎ 摘  要

We study the dispersion characteristics of surface plasmon polariton modes guided through a graphene monolayer bounded with a nonlinear magnetic cladding and linear substrate. Nonlinear cladding with permeability mu = mu(1) + mu(n1)|H|(2) provides an extra hand for controlling guided mode behavior externally. The presence of graphene layer enhances nonlinearity in the waveguide configuration thereby changing position of the self-focused peak of field components in the nonlinear medium. Also the propagation length of the fundamental mode strongly depends on the chemical potential of graphene layer. An appreciable increase in propagation length with increase in input power is observed. Phase constant and propagation length of the fundamental mode are calculated as a function of input mode power and graphene layer chemical potential over midinfrared frequencies.
