Main Results:

  • A phase shift for circularly polarized light passing through graphene under a perpendicular magnetostatic field is theoretically confirmed.
  • An ultrathin graphene absorber (thickness ~λ/76) demonstrates >90% absorption for CP light.
  • The absorber exhibits efficient absorption (>90%) over incident angles up to ±80° and across a broad frequency range (2.343–5.885 THz).

Conclusions:

  • Graphene can be engineered to create efficient, angle-independent absorbers for circularly polarized light.
  • The demonstrated ultrathin and broadband absorber has potential applications in circular polarization-sensitive devices.
