Graphene plasmonics represents a promising field at the intersection of graphene physics and plasmonics, offering novel optical devices with unique properties. Graphene, a two-dimensional carbon material, exhibits tunable plasmons with low dissipation, enabling applications across various frequency ranges, from terahertz to visible light. Its optical properties are highly dependent on factors such as doping, strain, and external fields, allowing for precise control over its behavior. Graphene's ability to interact strongly with light, combined with its mechanical and electrical properties, makes it a versatile material for optoelectronic applications. Graphene plasmons, which are collective oscillations of electrons, have unique characteristics, including high localization and strong light-matter interactions. These plasmons can be tuned by gating or doping, and their properties are influenced by factors such as strain and curvature. Graphene's plasmonic properties have been studied in various contexts, including its interaction with other 2D materials and its potential for use in photodetectors, modulators, and sensors. The combination of graphene with conventional plasmonic nanostructures and metamaterials offers new opportunities for creating fast, small, and efficient optical devices. Graphene's tunability and compatibility with plasmonic systems make it a valuable component for hybrid devices. Additionally, graphene's ability to enhance light-matter interactions through plasmonic nanostructures has led to advancements in photodetection, sensing, and optical modulation. Graphene-based plasmonics has the potential to revolutionize optoelectronics and optical computing, with applications in areas such as ultrafast optical modulators, efficient photovoltaics, and graphene-based 2D lasers. The integration of graphene with plasmonic elements allows for the development of highly sensitive chemical and biosensors, as well as new nonlinear optical elements. The unique properties of graphene plasmons, including their high localization and tunability, make them attractive for a wide range of applications in both fundamental and applied physics.Graphene plasmonics represents a promising field at the intersection of graphene physics and plasmonics, offering novel optical devices with unique properties.
