Abstract
In this paper, an all optical graphene-based modulation approach is proposed induced by Modulation Instability (MI). The device structure is based on graphene sheets transferred on the both arms of a Mach-Zehnder interferometer to support amplified Surface Plasmon Polaritons (SPPs). Due to the nonlinear nature of MI to interfere in the modulation process, the proposed approach leads to an enhanced performance in comparison to the conventional Mach-Zehnder modulators; using a low power cw driving beam (~20 µW at λ=50 µm), a high speed modulation rate (~2 Tpps) and subsequently, a high depth (89%), wideband modulation (~81 GHz) can be resulted. Since the MI is a pre-state to the chaotic regime, the modulator can be also used for secure optical communication.

Abstract
In this work, a two-dimensional square periodic array was successfully transferred onto a rigid glass substrate during an innovative and simple-design two-step process of pattern transferring using Kapton tape and plasma technology. Flexible and stretchable, Kapton tape was selected for pattern transferring onto the glass for the first time herein; in parallel, the vacuum plasma treatment was utilized to improve surface adhesion properties and aid the pattern transferring process. The proposed 2D square plasmonic array supported the plasmon-induced transparency (PIT) phenomenon, which is caused by the excitation of surface plasmon resonances. The current study simulated the fabricated plasmonic structure using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method and investigated the propagation of surface plasmon polariton (SPP) and cavity modes which enhanced transmission. This fabrication technique can offer new insights for micro/nanofabrication technology.
