Abstract
We propose a two-dimensional array made of a double-layer of vertically separated graphene nanoribbons. The transfer matrix method and coupled mode theory are utilized to quantitatively depict the transfer properties of the system. We present a way to calculate the radiative and the intrinsic loss factors, combined with finite-difference time-domain simulation, conducting the complete analytical analysis of the unidirectional reflectionless phenomenon. By adjusting the Fermi energy and the vertical distance between two graphene nanoribbons, the plasmonic resonances are successfully excited, and the unique phenomena can be realized at the exceptional points. Our research presents the potential in the field of optics and innovative technologies to create advanced optical devices that operate in the mid-infrared range, such as terahertz antennas and reflectors.

1. Introduction
The isomorphism between the Schrödinger equation and the light wave equation has sparked increased interest in the study of optical systems since Bender suggested that the real spectra could be obtained across a broad category of complex non-Hermitian Hamiltonians with parity-time (PT) symmetry [1,2]. To illustrate the characteristics of non-Hermitian Hamiltonians, numerous remarkable phenomena have been explored, such as unidirectional reflectionless propagation [3]. This unique phenomenon was firstly observed experimentally in a gainless optical waveguide in 2013 by Feng et al. [4]. It is formed at the exceptional point (EP), enabling light to spread in the desired direction [4,5,6–9]. The physics mechanism behind the conditions for its realization is the merge of the eigenvalues and the eigenstates of the scattering matrix in the complex regime. Recently, introducing surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) into metamaterials has spurred extensive research, such as conducting research on electromagnetically induced transparency [10–12] or integrated into photonic circuits which achieve the creation of ultracompact optical devices [13–20]. Many promising potential applications are suggested based on the dynamic control of the EP, including coherent perfect absorber [21–23], laser [24] and optical sensing [25–28]. In most of these studies, the relevant factors affecting radiation are calculated by means of fitting [3,29].
Graphene, with remarkable properties including strong confinement, low resistance damping and so on, has garnered significant attention in the scientific research field [11,30–32]. Its electrons display a unique linear energy-momentum relationship over a broad range of energies, behaving like massless relativistic particles with an energy-independent velocity [33]. The band structure of atomically thin graphene yields a distinctive electric field effect that can be altered by electrostatic gating to modify the Fermi energy of the material [34,35]. The monolayer graphene with reflectivity under 20% has not received much attention at first [36–39]. Until Semenenko et al. experimentally discovered the radiative rate increase when the edges of the graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) are clustered together [40]. Then Zhao et al. used this property to achieve the reflectivity of up to 90% in a one-dimensional array of GNRs, where the system is operating in the state that the radiative loss rate of the resonances is greater than the intrinsic one [41]. Inspired by the previous back, can we realize unidirectional reflectionless propagation in double-layer GNRs and conduct a quantitative analysis of it?
In this paper, we achieve the unidirectional reflectionless phenomenon by using the double-layer GNRs and get the factors influencing the radiative loss and the intrinsic loss through theoretical calculation. In addition, the dynamic control of exceptional points (EPs) can be achieved based on adjusting the Fermi energy and vertical distance between nanoribbons. The observed unidirectional reflectionless phenomenon is quantitatively depicted by using the coupled mode theory (CMT) in conjunction with the transfer matrix approach, which exhibits high agreement with the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations.
2. Structure and method
Figure 1(a) exhibits the schematic representation of the designed structure of graphene nanoribbons, which consists of a double-layer of vertically separated GNRs array. The optical characteristics of the plasmonic system can be derived from CMT [42]. S(i)+, in and S(i)−, out (i = 1, 2) are denoted as the amplitudes of the incident lights from the forward and outgoing lights from the backward of the system, where i represents the i-th nanoribbon, “+” or “−” indicate the propagation of wave on the orientation of the ± y-axis and the subscripts “in” or “out” correspond to the incident or outgoing waves, respectively. Then the temporal-normalized mode amplitude for i-th GNRs ai can be written as
According to the conservation of energy, we can derive the relation between the incoming wave and the outgoing wave for the i-th layer.
Additionally, the scattering matrix S is given to characterize the optical characteristics of the proposed structure with the corresponding eigenvalues provided. After the coalescence of eigenvalues of the scattering matrix branches, the PT-symmetry is disrupted by the emergence of EPs.
And the source shape is set as a plane wave with a frequency range from 18.73 to 66.54 THz for monolayer GNRs and 11.81 to 145.7 THz for double-layer GNRs, respectively. The Fermi energies of double-layer GNRs are set as EF1 = 0.6 eV and EF2 = 0.8 eV. To guarantee the convergence of the numerical simulation, we adopt the maximum mesh size as Δx = 1.0 nm and Δy = 0.2 nm. And the graphene conductivity σ(ω) can be modeled via the Drude model [44]:
where ω represents the angular frequency of incident light. The scattering time τ is set as 1.25 × 10−12 s to reduce the intrinsic loss while maintaining consistency with known experimental results [45–53]. The Drude weight D is a function of the carrier density N, the electron charge e and the effective electron mass m. As graphene is a two-dimensional isotropic material, the effective electron mass in the x-axis (mx) is approximately equivalent to the rest mass of the electron (m0).3. Results and discussion
In order to achieve high reflection in monolayer GNRs with the specific resonant frequency ωi, it is vital to take into account any possible limits related to the process of radiation decay and intrinsic loss. Achieving high reflection requires the monolayer GNRs structure to be designed to work in the over-coupled regime where the γr is much larger than γo. Then we define the radiative quality factor Qr,i = ωi/(2γr,i) and the intrinsic loss quality factor Qo,i = ωi/(2γo,i). In order to investigate the radiative rate γr, it is essential to establish a connection between the radiative power and the surface current density Jx(x) of the plasmonic resonator. Through the precise application of the surface boundary condition in combination with the Maxwell's equations, the Jx(x) can be derived:
which allows us to ascertain the z-component of the magnetic field (Hz) and the y-component of the electric field (Ey) that characterizes the resonance. Furthermore, the monolayer structure displays periodicity and mirror symmetry about the center of the GNRs at x = 0. Thus the surface current can be mathematically represented into a Fourier series, and n is the order of Fourier expansion: The period-averaged radiated power Prad is merely determined by the Ex(0) and Hz(0) as the lattice constant is subwavelength. Then we can derive from Eq. (17):The present discussion takes into account the possibility of radiation propagating both upward and downward into space. µ0 is the permeability of the vacuum. All higher-order components exhibit an evanescent nature and hence nonradiative, having a significant impact on the period-averaged stored energy in one second W. It can be elucidated by the concept of a kinetic inductance that W contains the energy stored within the electromagnetic field and the electron kinetic energy [54].
Our aim is to minimize the proportion of evanescent waves in the near field W in comparison to the Prad. Hence, we define the radiative quality factor Qr,i as
The dispersion relationship of the quasi-guided mode on monolayer GNRs can be derived by combining the Maxwell equations with the boundary conditions that take into account the conductance of the graphene layer [55], which is depicted in Fig. 2(d).
The analytically calculated reflection spectra of monolayer GNRs with various Fermi energies are represented in Fig. 3 with the parameters setting w = 0.9 µm and d = 0.05 µm. Due to the dramatic tunability of Fermi energy, as the Fermi energy increases, the resonance positions with high reflection exhibit a blue shift. As the graphene is a two-dimensional carbon material whose electronic behavior is determined by Fermi energy levels. When the Fermi level is at the energy gap position, the absorption of light by the graphene strip is weak and the reflectivity is low. However, when the Fermi level is in the conduction or valence band, the reflectivity of graphene is higher. This will directly affect the numerical distribution of surface current density Jx(x) and the specific values of different orders Jx(n) after Fourier expansion. Further, the radiative quality factor Qr and external radiative decay rate γr,i are also affected. Higher Fermi levels produce higher radiation mass factors. Therefore, appropriately adjusting the Fermi energy of monolayer GNRs allows for precise control over the resonance characteristics of plasmonic modes.
Based on the calculation of the radiative and intrinsic quality factor in the CMT with the scattering matrix method, Fig. 4 describes the transfer properties of the double-layer GNRs structure for forward and backward incidence, which shows good consistency with the analytical results. Our computations have revealed that the utilization of GNRs possessing energy values of 0.6 eV and 0.8 eV can yield a remarkably low radiation quality factor, potentially as low as a single digit. As the vertical separation of the two layers of GNRs decreases, the reflectivity depression shows a blue shift in the frequency domain, accompanied by periodic fluctuations in intensity, which is illustrated in Fig. 4(a). The reduction in reflectance reaches its peak when the incident light is from the forward direction, while it reaches its minimum when the light is traveling in the opposite direction for the non-reciprocity of the system. The numerical and theoretical reciprocal transmission spectra for incidence in two directions are depicted in Figs. 4(a) and (b), respectively.
Figure 5(a) and (c) respectively portray the y-component field diagrams of the electric field of the system realizing unidirectional reflectionlessness for incidence from the forward and backward directions, where the arrow represents the incident direction of the light, and the gray line indicates the graphene sheet. We take an individual cell for analysis. By comparing Figs. 5(a) and (d) (or Figs. 5(b) and (c)), the system individual cell exhibits different electric field excitation modes for incident light in different directions while keeping h constant. For light incident in the same direction, such as Figs. 5(a) and (b) (or Figs. 5(c) and (d)), the electric field excitation pattern is the same. The contribution of the electric field in the y-axis is localized on the graphene strip sheets and has completely different patterns for incident light from different directions when holding h as a constant. The energy is almost completely confined to the two graphene sheets, while there is less energy distribution in the space between them.
Figures 6(a)-(c) exhibit a repulsion of the real parts and an intersection of the imaginary parts of s± at EPs at 11.42 THz with φ = 1.03π for the forward incidence and at 11.80 THz with φ = 0.97π for backward incidence. We denote φtotal = φ1 + φ2 + 2φ as the total phase shift of the proposed system, consisting of the accumulated phase shift φ in the air and the phase shifts in the nonreciprocal ribbons φ1(2), which can be expressed by:
The Riemannian surface spanned by frequency and phase reasonably predicts the appearance of the EPs and the phase transition of the PT-symmetric phase. In Figs. 6(d) and (e), as the frequency increases and the phase decreases, the two eigenvalues of the real part of the system successively go through three different stages: coalescence of s± into a single eigenvalue, the failure of the degeneracy with the formation of a void, and the realization of coalescence again.
4. Conclusions
In summary, we investigate both theoretically and numerically the unidirectional reflectionless phenomenon in the double-layer of GNR structure. The EPs can be regulated by altering the Fermi energy and the vertical distance between two nanoribbons. The analytic solution of the radiative quality factor can be computed based on the analysis of surface current distribution. In addition, the intrinsic loss quality factor is mainly modulated by the Fermi energy and the scattering time. The implementation of unidirectional reflectionless propagation with dynamic regulation can be utilized in adjustable sensors.
