“…Compared with the metallic waveguides, graphene plasmon waveguides could confine the infrared waves into the deep subwavelength scale, and the guided modes could be easily tuned [ 34 ]. Up to now, lots of graphene-based configurations have been proposed to guide the infrared waves, such as graphene ribbons [ 35 ], graphene slot waveguides [ 36 , 37 ], graphene wedge and groove waveguides [ 38 ], dielectric-loaded graphene waveguides [ 39 ], graphene-coated nanowires [ 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 ], graphene-based hybrid waveguides [ 47 , 48 ], etc.…”
