Figures & Tables

Fig. 1. Schematic of a uniform graphene-based grating structure: a graphene monolayer on a uniform silicon grating structure with PMMA as the interlayer. p is the grating period, w1 and w2 denote the widths of nongroove parts and groove parts of the grating, w2 is fixed at 30 nm in our work, and d1 and d2 are the depths of graphene sheet to nongroove and groove parts, respectively.
