Abstract

We analyze relief graphene gratings by the coordinate transformation method (the C-method). This method is also used for analysis of multilayer gratings with graphene sheets at the interfaces. By using this method, we are able to obtain the eciency of deep graphene gratings with fast convergence rate while previous methods are limited to very shallow graphene gratings. Moreover, a terahertz polarizer is designed by relief graphene grating. Polarization extinction ratio and transmittance of single-layer and double-layer polarizer are simulated by the C-method. Double-layer polarizer gives extinction ratio from 22 dB to 10 dB over a frequency range of 1 GHz to 4 THz.
