Abstract

Graphene’s controllable optical conductivity and mechanically strong structure make it a suitable material to de- sign tunable localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) sensors. In this work, we theoretically and numerically demonstrate that the resonance wavelength of an LSPR sensor can be tuned to any value within a reasonably wide range of wavelengths by changing the voltage applied to graphene layer. Theoretical results reveal a higher sensitivity with respect to regular LSPR sensors.
