Embodiment Construction

[0023] Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing and embodiment the present invention will be further described:

[0024] figure 1 Schematic diagram for single-layer graphene nanostructure and tuned bandgap. The biggest problem in the application of graphene materials as semiconductor optoelectronic materials is the zero energy gap characteristic of graphene, so the regulation of graphene energy gap has become the primary problem in the application of graphene optoelectronic devices. Lateral confinement, vertical electromagnetic field, molecular doping, strain and other methods have been applied to the regulation of graphene energy gap. Among them, the method of using graphene nanoribbons to generate an energy gap has become the best means to regulate the energy gap of graphene because it has little effect on the properties of graphene materials. figure 1 The left and right sides show the graphene nanoribbon structure and energy gap correspondence of different widths wi...

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a terahertz sensor, more specifically, the present invention relates to a graphene terahertz sensor based on an optical waveguide. technical background [0002] Compared with microwaves and light waves, terahertz waves have the characteristics of low photon energy, high temporal and spatial coherence, and strong penetration. In recent years, the demand for portable terahertz imaging / spectroscopy systems has become increasingly urgent in the fields of anti-terrorism and anti-terrorism, security inspection, anti-drug and on-site non-destructive testing. The miniaturization of terahertz systems and equipment puts forward requirements such as miniaturization and room temperature operation for its core components, THz source and THz detector. [0003] At present, the commonly used THz detection technology can be divided into coherent detection technology and direct detection technology. Compared with the expensive and comp...
