The power conversion of a terahertz wave normally incident on a periodic graphene structure to propagating-plasmon power is theoretically studied. The conditions of the maximum conversion of the incident radiation power to the propagating-plasmon power and excitation condition of unidirectional traveling plasmon are determined. It is found that up to 15% of the incident wave power can be converted to propagating-plasmon power.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
