title: Tunable metamaterial-induced transparency with gate-controlled on-chip graphene metasurface.
abstract: We propose and numerically investigate a gate-controlled on-chip graphene metasurface consisting of a monolayer graphene sheet and silicon photonic crystal-like substrate, to achieve an electrically-tunable induced transparency. The operation mechanism of the induced transparency of the on-chip graphene metasurface is analyzed. The tunable optical properties with different gate-voltages and polarizations have been discussed. Additionally, the spectral feature of the on-chip graphene metasurface as a function of the refractive index of the local environment is also investigated. The result shows that the on-chip graphene metasurface as a refractive index sensor can achieve an overall figure of merit of 8.89 in infrared wavelength range. Our study suggests that the proposed structure is potentially attractive as optoelectronic modulators and refractive index sensors.
