THz dynamically controllable graphene Y-circulator

A new type of the graphene-based three-port circulator is suggested and analysed. The cross-section of the component presents a three-layer structure consisting of graphene, silica and silicon. The in-plane figure of the circulator presents a circular graphene resonator and three waveguides symmetrically connected to it. The graphene is magnetized normally to its plane by a DC magnetic field. The physical principle of the device is based on the dipole resonance of the magnetized graphene resonator. We investigate the influence of different parameters on characteristics of the circulator. Numerical simulations demonstrate the isolation of -15 dB in 9.4% bandwidth with the central frequency 5.38 THz. The biasing DC magnetic field is 0.57 T.
