Abstract

In this work, a gas sensor based on the plasmonic double-layer graphene nanograting (GNG) structure with an enhanced figure of merit (FoM) is presented in the near-infrared region. This structure includes double periodic graphene nanoribbon arrays, separated by a dielectric. The wavelength interrogation method is employed to accurately investigate the behavior of the proposed structure for various physical and geometrical parameters, including the array pitch, graphene nanoribbon width, refractive index of the intermediate dielectric between the GNGs, and the chemical potential of the graphene. A sharp dip is achieved by the guided-mode resonance between the two GNG layers, due to their near-field coupling. For the optimized design, obtained sensitivity and FoM are 430.91 nm/RIU and ${174.68}\;{{\rm{RIU}}^{- 1}}$, respectively, when the finite-element method is used for the simulations. The high FoM is a result of the field enhancement at the edges of the graphene nanoribbons, as well as the narrow resonance linewidth achieved by the sharp transmission dip. In addition to the high performance and FoM, the structure is robust to the misalignment of two GNG layers, offering a solution for practical gas sensing applications. To the best of our knowledge, the proposed GNG-based structure enjoys a boosted FoM compared to the previously proposed integrated gas sensors, as well as a practically feasible design for fabrication.
