| contents | We proposed multilayered graphene (Gr)-based surface plasmon resonance-induced high-performance terahertz (THz) modulators with tunable resonance frequencies. Several THz plasmonic modulators based on Gr metamaterials were previously reported; however, these modulators had small group delay, low extinction ratio (ER), and difficult-to-tune resonant frequency without structural parameters in the THz range. A comprehensive investigation employing the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulation technique revealed high group delay, broad tunability independent of structural parameters, and large ER for our proposed quadband and pentaband plasmonic modulators. We obtained tunable group delays with a maximum of 1.02 ps and 1.41 ps for our proposed quadband and pentaband plasmonic modulators, respectively, which are substantially greater compared to previously reported Gr-based metamaterial structures. The maximum ER of 22.3 dB was obtained which was substantially high compared to previous reports. Our proposed modulators were sensitive to the polarization angle of incident light; therefore, the transmittance at resonant frequencies was increased while the polarization angle varied from 0 to 180 degree. These high-performance plasmonic modulators have emerging potential for the design of optical buffers, slow light devices, multistop band filters, integrated photonic circuits, and various optoelectronic systems. |
