Graphene-Based Terahertz Electronics and Plasmonics: Detector and Emitter Concepts

Graphene demonstrates interesting electrical, optical, and optoelectronic properties. Several other one-atom-thick material structures have been discovered and studied. Industrially applicable technologies for these structures are currently under active development.

Despite enormous research in the area of devices based on graphene, the number of extensive review publications on THz devices based on graphene is small. This review volume would fill the gap. Researchers and engineers working in electronics and plasmonics can use it to understand the influence of plasmonics on device performance. The book can also be used as a required text for doctorate courses and as supplementary material for postgraduate courses.

Chapter 1 reviews the material presented in the book in detail. Chapter 2 discusses the electronic and plasmonic properties of graphene and heterostructures based on graphene for all devices. Chapters 3–7 focus on the concepts of detectors and emitters, with a special emphasis on the plasmonic enhancement of those devices as well as on population inversion and lasing.
