Abstract
We exploit the concept of critical coupling to graphene based chip-integrated applications and numerically demonstrate that a chip-integrated nearly perfect graphene absorber at wavelengths around 1.55 μm can be obtained by graphene nearly critical coupling with a nanobeam cavity. The key points are reducing the radiation loss and transmission possibly, together with controlling the coupling rate of the cavity to the input waveguide to be equal to the absorption rate of the cavity caused by graphene. Simulation results show that the absorption of monolayer graphene with a total length of only a few microns is raised up to 97%. Our study may have potential applications in chip-integrated photodetectors.
