Graphene is a very versatile material for optoelectronics or nonlinear optics in a large spectral range, in particular for THz radiation. One drawback is the low interaction volume between THz radiation and the single atomic layer, which limits the light matter interaction at elevated photon frequencies. During the recent years it has been shown that patterning graphene into plasmonic...
More than 40 years ago, a new direction in physics opened up with the arrival of plasma-wave electronics. The possibility that the plasma waves could propagate faster than electrons fascinated all. Therefore, it was initially expected that plasmonic devices, including detectors and generators of electromagnetic radiation, would be able to work effectively in the very high frequencies -...
