Title: Double-layer graphene optical modulators and methods of fabrication thereof

Patent ·
OSTI ID:1735263

This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus related to optical modulators. In one aspect, a device includes a substrate, a first electrically insulating material disposed over the substrate, a first graphene layer and a second graphene layer disposed in the first electrically insulating material and being separated by the first electrically insulating material, and a waveguide disposed on the first electrically insulating material. At least a portion of the second graphene layer overlays at least a portion of the first graphene layer. The waveguide overlays both the first graphene layer and the second graphene layer.
