Abstract
We employed a metallic wire grating loaded with graphene and operating in total internal reflection (TIR) geometry to realise deep and broadband THz modulation. The non-resonant field enhancement effect of the evanescent wave in the TIR geometry and in the subwavelength wire grating was combined to demonstrate a ~77% modulation depth (MD) in the frequency range of 0.2-1.4 THz. This MD, achieved electrically with SiO2/Si gated graphene device, was 4.5 times higher than the device without metal grating in transmission geometry. By optimizing the parameters of metallic wire grating, the required sheet conductivity of graphene for deep modulation was lowered to 0.87 mS. This work has potential applications in THz communication and real-time THz imaging.
