Tunable Group Delay of Reflected Beam in Multilayered Structures with Antisymmetric Graphene via Magnetic Control
In this paper, we demonstrate the magnetic field-adjustable group delay of the reflected beam in the terahertz frequency range, using a multilayer architecture incorporating three layers of antisymmetric graphene. The observed enhancement in group delay results from localized field amplification, which occurs due to the excitation of surface plasmon polaritons on the graphene at the interface between two dielectric layers. By considering the quantum mechanical response of graphene, the polarity of the group delay can be reversed by exploiting the antisymmetric conductivity characteristics of graphene. Furthermore, the group delay can be dynamically modulated either by varying the external magnetic field or by adjusting the structural parameters. The achieved enhancement and tunability of the group delay offer significant potential for the development of graphene-based terahertz modulation devices and other optical delay applications.
