title: Graphene-based photonic devices for soft hybrid optoelectronic systems.
abstract: Graphene, a two-dimensional one-atom-thick planar sheet of carbon atoms densely packed in a honeycomb crystal lattice, has attracted appreciable attention due to its extraordinary mechanical, thermal, electrical, and optical properties. One of these properties, graphene's outstanding tensile strength, allows graphene-based electronic and photonic devices to be flexible, stretchable, and foldable. In this work, we propose a novel platform technology and architecture of graphene-based flexible photonic devices for the development of high-performance flexible devices and components. We investigated the characteristics of the graphene-based plasmonic waveguide for the development of high-performance optical interconnection in flexible human-friendly optoelectronic devices. We concluded that graphene-based photonic devices have huge potential for the development of next-generation human-friendly flexible optoelectronic systems.
