Abstract
We present the experimental and theoretical study of an ultrafast graphene based thin film absorption modulator for operation in the THz regime. The flat modulator is composed of a graphene sheet placed on a dielectric layer backed by a metallic back reflector. A near IR pulse induces the generation of hot carriers in the graphene sheet reducing effectively its conductivity. The system provides a platform with ultrafast modulation capability for flat optics and graphene based metasurfaces applications.
