Slow light in graphene plasmonic time crystals

In order to control the group velocity of slow light, a graphene plasmon time crystal slow light waveguide was constructed and used for the waveguide to construct the Zigzag topology interface channel for transmission. When the structure is fixed, the external bias voltage of the graphene nano-disk can be dynam-ically adjusted to obtain the dispersion curves at different times. The corresponding group velocity is studied. First, the graphene plasmon time crystal is obtained by applying the bias voltages periodically varying with time to different regions of the honeycomb arranged graphene nano-disks. When the time translation sym-metry of the crystal is destroyed, the crystal band gap will periodically appear and disappear with time, and exhibit the band topology effect. The Zigzag topology interface is constructed to analyze the topological in-terface state and its slow light mode existing at different moments. Then the corresponding group velocity is calculated according to the dispersion curve. Finally, a slow light waveguide model is established through nu-merical simulation, and the field enhancement process is detected at the light energy capture point of the waveguide. Simulation results show that the waveguide designed based on the graphene plasmon time crys-tal can achieve a good slow light transmission effect, and the group velocity of the light can be dynamically adjusted when the waveguide structure is fixed. Under slow light transmission, the light energy capture point realizes the field enhancement effect. The slow light waveguide with simple structure can be dynamically tuned, and has broad application prospects in slow light modulation devices and optical storage devices.
