Recent theories and experiments prove that graphene support surface plasmon polariton (SPPS) and transform it into Terahertz (THz) radiation. In this paper, a dispersion and electric amplitude equations of SPPS of graphene loaded on the three dimensional dielectric gratings excited by parallel moving electron beam are derived by solving the Maxwell's equations. The numerical results show that the frequency of amplified electric amplitude are same as the frequency point where electron beam and dispersion curve meet, which demonstrate theoretical analysis are right. The influence of dielectric gratings width is considered. It is found that the cutoff frequency occurs and rises on the dispersion curve as the width narrowing. The working point frequency is also higher compared with infinite width dielectric gratings. The SPPS of graphene loaded the three dimensional dielectric gratings whose work point is under cutoff frequency can't be excited, even though it can be tuned.

Compared to the previous studies on terahertz radiation sources with complete grapheme sheet, graphene metasurface (such as periodical ribbon arrays) provide a new method by varying graphene ribbon width to tune output performance. In this paper, a terahertz radiation source based on the excitation of GSPs on the periodical graphene ribbon arrays by electron beam is proposed and studied both theoretically and numerically. First, the general dispersion relation of SSP mode on the graphene ribbon arrays which is deposited on a dielectric medium with a conducting ground metal plate is obtained by a modal expansion method. Besides, a terahertz radiation source on the graphene-dielectric-metal structure based on the interaction between GSPs and injected electron beam is modeled and implemented by particle-in-cell simulation. A tunable terahertz radiation source via different ribbon width is proposed and the output with different biased voltage is also analyzed. The presented studies based on gradient graphene ribbon arrays can provide a new way to develop tunable terahertz radiation source.","PeriodicalId":326539,"journal":{"name":"2018 11th UK-Europe-China Workshop on Millimeter Waves and Terahertz Technologies (UCMMT)","volume":"44 24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132961485","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
