Reconfigurable nonlinear photonic devices based on nanostructured graphene (review)

Abstract

The relevance of the study is due to the need to mastering the terahertz (THz) range to increase the volume of transmitted information and is dictated by the needs of the developing technology of THz frequencies in the development of electronically controlled THz devices and antennas based on new types of materials such as a graphene, graphene metamaterials and metasurfaces. The purpose of this work is to present the physical foundations, electrodynamic models and principles of operation of nonlinear THz plasmonic nanostructured graphene based devices on nanostructured graphene, their design and characteristics, based on the latest achievements of Russian and foreign photonics.
