Magnetic-field-assisted transmission of THz waves through a graphene layer combined with a periodically perforated metallic film

Abstract

We consider a graphene sheet encapsulated in a two-dimensional metallic grating and a substrate ($\mathrm{A}{\mathrm{l}}_2{\mathrm{O}}_3$) and subjected to an external magnetic field (in Faraday configuration). The grating consists of a thin perfectly conducting metal film perforated with a 2D periodic array of square holes. According to our calculations, significant changes in the spectra of the Faraday rotation angle of the transmitted wave and of the magnetic circular dichroism should be expected in this situation compared to bare graphene. We explain this enhancement by the excitation of graphene magnetoplasmons that accompanies the transmission of the electromagnetic wave through the structure. The results can be interesting for applications in THz photonics, such as switchable rotating polarizer and optical isolator.
