Abstract

We study graphene on a photonic crystal operating in the terahertz (THz) spectral range. We show that the absorption of graphene becomes a modulated function of frequency and can be enhanced by more than three times at specific frequency values, depending on the parameters of the system. The problem of a semi-infinite photonic crystal is also solved.
