In addition to modifications in the plasmon dispersion relation, retardation implies strong coupling between propagating light and matter, even for homogeneous graphene, which opens up the possibility of efficient plasmonics in simple graphene devices. We exemplify this enhancement in a double-layer configuration that exhibits {\\em perfect} (if lossless) light transmissions across a classically forbidden region, providing a simpler analog of the corresponding phenomenon in perforated metal sheets. We also show that (broad) Fabry-P\\'erot resonances present without graphene turn into sharply peaked, quasi-discrete modes in the presence of graphene where graphene's response function is given by the typical Fano lineshape.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2012-07-20T16:11:12.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "graphene plasmons", "strong light-matter coupling", "graphenes response function", "plasmon dispersion relation", "retardation implies strong" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "EPL (Europhysics Letters)", "year": 2012, "month": "Jul", "volume": 99, "number": 2, "pages": 27006 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 6, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012EL.....9927006G" } } }
