Abstract
We propose a new graphene-based THz circulator. It consists of a circular graphene resonator and three graphene nanoribbon waveguides of W-geometry placed on a dilectric substrate. Surface plasmon-polariton waves propagate in the waveguides. The nanoribbon excites in the resonator dipole resonance. Nonreciprocity of the device is defined by nonsymmetry of the conductivity tensor of the magnetized graphene. The circulator with the central frequency 7.5 THz has the bandwidth 4.25\% for isolation -15 dB, insertion loss -2.5 dB. Applied DC magnetic field is 0.56T and Fermi energy of graphene eV. The Fermi energy allows one to control dynamically the circulator responses.
