▎ 摘  要

A novel nanoscale structure for high sensitivity sensing which consists of a graphene nanoribbon waveguide coupled with detuned graphene square-nanoring resonators (GSNR) based on edge mode is investigated in detail. By altering the Fermi energy level of the graphene, the plasmon-induced transparency (PIT) window from the destructive interference between a radiative square-nanoring resonator and a dark square-nanoring resonator can be easily tailored. The coupled mode theory (CMT) is used to show that the theoretical results agree well with the finite difference time domain (FDTD) simulations. This nanosensor yields a ultrahigh sensitivity of similar to 2600 nm/refractive index unit (RIU) and a figure of merit (FOM) of similar to 54 in the mid-infrared (MIR) spectrum. The revealed results indicate that the Fermi energy level of the graphene and the coupling distance play important roles in optimizing the sensing properties. Our proposed structure exerts a peculiar fascination on the realization of ultra-compact graphene plasmonic nanosensor in the future.
