Abstract
Using numerical simulations, here we demonstrate that a single sheet of graphene with properly designed inhomogeneous, nonuniform conductivity distributions can act as a convex lens for focusing and collimating the transverse-magnetic (TM) surface Plasmon polariton (SPP) surface wave propagating along the graphene. Consequently, we show that the graphene can act as a platform capable of obtaining spatial Fourier transform of infra-red (IR) SPP signals. This may lead to rebirth of the field of Fourier Optics on a one-atom-thick structure.
