▎ 摘  要

Here we present a graphene-based long-wavelength infrared modulator characteristic of extra-high contrast, where the frequency detuning degree of magnetic and electric surface plasmons (SPs) is controllable by the gated graphene Fermi energy. If the device is designed to work in a strong SP-coupling regime by selecting an appropriate low-lossy gate dielectric thickness, a modulation depth (MD) up to similar to 100% but insertion loss (IL) as low as similar to-0.37 dB is achievable. Moreover, a compromised MD > 90% with IL < -1.0 dB is still retainable in two broadband ranges. The disclosed underlying mechanism to the device working state in the strong, electromagnetic-induced transparency (EIT), or weak SP-coupling regime, indicates the coupling regime shows a strong dependence on the dielectric thickness, which is related to the magnetic-SP mode volume, while the working wavelength can be selected in a broader spectral range by scaling the device geometry. These findings are helpful to construct those optoelectronics for infrared absorption enhancement, EIT, and strong coupling spectral characteristic itself.
