▎ 摘  要

NOVELTY - The arrangement has a gating electrode layer for providing a tuning voltage to a graphene layer. A laser layer provides an electromagnetic wave. A concentric-circular grating layer couples the electromagnetic wave to the graphene layer. The graphene layer is provided above the gating electrode layer. An insulator layer is arranged between the concentric-circular grating layer and the gating electrode layer. The gating electrode layer is provided above the insulator layer. The insulator layer is provided above the concentric-circular grating layer. USE - Layer arrangement i.e. integrated graphene modulator, for an application. Uses include but are not limited to a non-destructive imaging application, spectroscopic sensing application, ultra-high bit rate wireless optical communication application, beam manipulation application, and a active mode locking application. ADVANTAGE - The modulator is miniaturized, thus increasing modulation speed due to reduced parasitic capacitance and resistance of the device by having a smaller device area and by optimization of the design of a laser cavity and a modulator architecture and achieving a better modulation depth. The arrangement decreases time constant by reducing width of slits of a gating electrode which can make an effective area of a graphene sheet smaller, so that a graphene capacitance is smaller. DETAILED DESCRIPTION - An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is also included for a method for fabricating a layer arrangement. DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The drawing shows a flow diagram illustrating a method for fabricating a layer arrangement.
