Abstract

A novel graphene photodetector with graphene embedded in a metamaterial perfect absorber (MPA) is proposed and its light absorption property is numerically investigated. Absorption above 40% in graphene is obtained, which is over 17 times that of a bare monolayer graphene. Both horizontally and vertically cascaded MPAs integrated with graphene are also investigated.
