Description
Summary:This paper investigates a graphene-on-insulator power divider designed for terahertz applications based on spoof surface plasmon polaritons. We optimize structural parameters to maximize signal transmission from input to output ports while achieving a uniform and symmetrical electric field distribution at the output cross-section. Our findings indicate that utilizing three graphene layers significantly enhances power distribution and symmetry at output ports. We demonstrate electrical control over waveguide transmission properties by modulating the graphene chemical potential from 0 to 0.5 eV. The proposed device holds promise for applications in plasmonic circuits and on-chip interconnects operating within the terahertz frequency range.
