Graphene as Enabling Material for Infrared Plasmonic Biosensors

Hatice Altug, Daniel Rodrigo Lopez, Dordaneh Etezadi, Odeta Limaj

We demonstrate a graphene infrared biosensor for chemical-specific label-free protein detection. Graphene plasmon resonances are dynamically tuned to enhance protein vibrational bands. We show that the extreme light confinement makes graphene plasmons extr ...

Mid-infrared plasmonic biosensing with graphene

Hatice Altug, Dordaneh Etezadi, Daniel Rodrigo Lopez, Odeta Limaj

Infrared spectroscopy is the technique of choice for chemical identification of biomolecules through their vibrational fingerprints. However, infrared light interacts poorly with nanometric-size molecules. We exploit the unique electro-optical properties o ...

Plasmon-Plasmon Hybridization and Bandwidth Enhancement in Nanostructured Graphene

Daniel Rodrigo Lopez

Graphene plasmonic structures with long-range layering periodicity are presented. Resonance energy scaling with the number of graphene layers involved in plasmonic excitation allows these structures to support multiple plasmonic modes that couple and hybri ...

Reconfigurable Pixel-Layer Isolator for Frequency-Tunable On-Frequency Repeaters

Daniel Rodrigo Lopez

The maximum gain in on-frequency repeaters is limited by the isolation level between their two antennas due to close-loop stability conditions. In this letter, a novel pixel-layer isolator for tunable on-frequency repeaters is presented. The scattered fiel ...
