title: Graphene in a photonic metamaterial.
abstract: We demonstrate a photonic metamaterial that shows extraordinary sensitivity to the presence of a single atomic layer of graphene on its surface. Metamaterial's optical transmission increases multi-fold at the resonance frequency linked to the Fano-type plasmonic mode supported by the periodic metallic nanostructure. The experiments were performed with chemical vapor deposited (CVD) graphene covering a number of size-scaled metamaterial samples with plasmonic modes at different frequencies ranging from 167 to 187 Thz.
