Wide Angle Dynamically Tunable Enhanced Infrared Absorption on Large Area Nanopatterned Graphene

Enhancing light-matter interaction by exciting Dirac plasmons on nanopatterned monolayer graphene is an efficient route to achieve high infrared absorption. Here, we designed and fabricated the hexagonal planar arrays of nanohole and nanodisk with and without optical cavity to excite Dirac plasmons on the patterned graphene and investigated the role of plasmon lifetime, extinction cross-section, incident light polarization, the angle of incident of light and pattern dimensions on the light absorption spectra.
