However, one drawback to the way this formant shift works is that the photodetector will more or less always have a response in one frequency range, so if the formant frequency is shifted over a range smaller than the photodetector's frequency response range, then the output signal of the photodetector will have no change
This will lose some of the potential of the electro-opti

Abstract

The invention discloses an electrooptical modulator based on graphene. The electrooptical modulator comprises a substrate, a magnetic resonance plasmon metasurface and a single-layer graphene sheet. By means of the electrooptical modulator, the Fermi level of the single-layer graphene sheet can be changed so that the transmissivity of middle infrared light which transmits through the electrooptical modulator can be changed, and it is guaranteed that the position of the transmission peak on the spectrum cannot be changed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of electro-optic modulation devices, in particular to a graphene-based electro-optic modulator applied in free space and working in the mid-infrared band. technical background [0002] The modulation of light is the cornerstone of realizing display, integrated optical circuit, optical information transmission, optical information processing and many other applications using light as the basic medium, and occupies an important position in the field of optics research. The electromagnetic nature of light endows light with many properties for carrying information, such as frequency, phase, polarization, and spin. However, the most immediate and widely used property for carrying information is amplitude, or intensity. Traditional light modulation devices require a working medium, such as various liquid crystals, acousto-optic crystals, etc. These traditional working media are generally bulk materials, which leads to the...
