Abstract
We theoretically design the plasmonic
structures based on the coupling between the graphene sheets and resonators for the
mid IR region, which can be used to construct the ultra compact fast tunable optical filter, splitter, 1×2 digital optical switch,
or Mach Zehnder interferometer. Electric al tunability of the system by tiny change of the Fermi level (chemical potential) of
the graphene is realized In addition the quality and sensitivity of the system can be optimized by changing the coupling
distance The finite element method results are verified by the resonance theory of the rings..
