Abstract

A wavelength demultiplexing (WDM) structure based on graphene nanoribbon resonators is proposed and simulated using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. Based on a simple structure, the demultiplexing wavelength and transmission characteristics of the WDM can be tuned by adjusting the length of the resonator, the nanoribbon width, or the chemical potential of graphene within a relative broadband frequency range. Moreover, the mechanism of the proposed WDM structure is analyzed in detail using the theory of Fabry–Perot (F-P) resonance and temporal coupled-mode theory. The proposed structure has promising potential in the field of ultracompact WDM systems in highly integrated optical circuits.
