Abstract :
Graphene, a mono-atomic plane of carbon atoms arranged in a honeycomb lattice, exhibits a unique combination of electronic and optical properties, such as high carrier mobility, optical nonlinearity, broadband transparency. This makes it an ideal material for a variety of optoelectronic and photonic applications. Furthermore, graphene can be be easily fabricated and integrated into various photonic systems. Here, we review the recent progress in graphene photonics and optoelectronics, and discuss potential applications that may very well redefine the future devices and applications in this fast-moving field.
