  • A Fabry-Perot model was formulated utilizing the experimentally determined phase jump.
  • Numerical simulations were used to study the coupling effects between adjacent graphene sheets.

    • Main Results:

    • Mid-infrared graphene plasmons demonstrate a nearly total reflection at boundaries with a consistent phase jump of approximately 0.27π, irrespective of the surrounding environment.
    • The developed Fabry-Perot model accurately predicts the resonant wavelengths of graphene nanoribbons.
    • Coupling between neighboring coplanar graphene sheets modifies the phase jump magnitude, explaining the red-shift observed in periodic ribbon arrays.

    Conclusions:

    • A fundamental understanding of graphene plasmon edge-reflection phase has been established.
    • The findings provide a straightforward method for characterizing phase jumps, crucial for designing graphene resonators, waveguides, and related applications.
    • This work facilitates the advancement of tunable graphene-based optical and electronic devices.
