Dynamic Inductive Tuning of Fano-Resonant Meta-Surfaces Using Plasmonic Response of Graphene in Mid-Infrared

We demonstrate theoretically and experimentally that electrically gated single-layer graphene can be used to inductively tune the infrared optical response of Fano-resonant meta-surfaces. Several implementations will be introduced: graphene of the meta-surface, graphene directly under the meta-surface, and graphene separated by a thin spacer from the meta-surface. Both electrostatic and chemical doping of graphene will be discussed and supporting experimental results presented. Finally, we will demonstrate how the spectral shifts of metamaterials resonances introduced by the graphene can be utilized to extract graphene's electronic properties such as the complex-valued resistivity.
