Abstract

Within the last years there has been a tremendous thrust into research and technology in the THz spectral region (broadly defined as 0.1-10 THz) mainly driven by the unique potential where this radiation finds applications in, such as imaging, spectroscopy and communication. In all these fields a fast, integrated and versatile platform for modulating light is required. Metamaterial/graphene devices fulfill all these requirements as their subwavelength nature lends itself naturally to strong light-matter interaction, and therefore highly efficient and miniaturized devices. Graphene's unique properties, e.g. the large carrier concentration modulation, provide a large degree of compatibility with several architectures which can be exploited in a range of modulation or detection schemes. Finally, metamaterial/graphene devices realize a fast, versatile platform, which can be easily scaled to other frequencies, and adapted into amplitude, frequency, polarization and phase modulators, as well as integrated detectors, for the next generation of wireless-communication.
