Abstract

Transmission spectra of microribbon graphene arrays are investigated with a circuit model based on the transmission line method. The accuracy of the proposed method is comparable with full-wave electromagnetic simulation results versus chemical potential, incident angle, dimensions of microribbons and the permittivity of the substrate. This rigorous method takes less than a second to perform, therefore it can be employed to optimize other similar devices instead of numerical methods that involve heavy calculations. Furthermore, we depicted the Kerr effect with the harmonic balance method through calculating the parameters in steady state. The results of this novel approach exhibited an excellent agreement with full-wave simulation results.
