Abstract We investigate a graphene-coated nanowire waveguide (GCNW) composed of two suspended wedge porous silicon nanowires and a thin Ag partition. The plasmonic characteristics of the proposed structure in terahertz (THz) frequency band are simulated by the finite element method (FEM). The parameters including the gap between the nanowires and Ag partition, the height of the nanowire, the thickness of the Ag partition, and the Fermi level of graphene, are optimized. The simulation results show that a normalized mode field area of ∼ 10 -4 and a figure of merit of ∼ 100 can be achieved. Compared with the cylindrical GCNW and isolated GCNW, the proposed wedge GCNW has good electric field enhancement. A waveguide sensitivity of 32.28 is obtained, which indicates the prospects of application in refractive index (RI) sensing in THz frequency band. Due to the adjustable plasmonic characteristics by changing the Fermi level (E F), the proposed structure has promising applications in the electro-optic modulations, optical interconnects, and optical switches.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
