Abstract
The subject matter of this specification can be embodied in, among other things, a graphene plasmon resonator that includes a planar patterned layer having a collection of electrically conductive segments, and a collection of dielectric segments, each dielectric segment defined between a corresponding pair of the electrically conductive segments, a graphene layer substantially parallel to the planar patterned layer and overlapping the collection of electrically conductive segments, and a planar dielectric layer between the planar patterned layer and the graphene layer.

A graphene plasmon resonator, comprising:
- a planar patterned layer comprising:
- a plurality of electrically conductive segments;
- and
- a plurality of dielectric segments, each dielectric segment defined between a corresponding pair of the plurality of electrically conductive segments,
- wherein the plurality of electrically conductive segments and the plurality of dielectric segments are sized and spaced to establish a resonance frequency of a graphene plasmon mode, the resonance frequency corresponding to a predetermined wavelength of electromagnetic radiation;
- a graphene layer substantially parallel to the planar patterned layer and overlapping the plurality of electrically conductive segments;
- and
- a planar dielectric layer between the planar patterned layer and the graphene layer.
