Mid-infrared plasmon induced transparency in heterogeneous graphene ribbon pairs

The control of coherent phenomena in graphene structures is proposed. Specifically, plasmon induced transparency (PIT) effect is investigated in a kind of simple graphene structures - graphene ribbon pairs. The transparency effect are understood by the mode coupling between dipolar and quadrupole plasmons modes in graphene ribbons. By using bias voltage tuning or geometry parameters changing, the PIT effect can be effectively controlled, which is based on the frequency tuning of dipolar or quadrupole modes in ribbons. These properties make these structures possess applications in two-dimensional plasmonics devices in mid-infrared range. In addition, the tuning of PIT in graphene ribbon pairs opens an avenue for active coherent control in plasmonics.
