Highly Efficient Graphene-Based Optical Modulator With Edge Plasmonic Effect
We report a highly efficient graphene-based modulator by using an edge plasmonic effect in this paper. The modulation efficiency of the proposed modulator can be as large as 1.58 dB/μm, which is several times larger than that of previous ...
