Efficient Optical Spatial First-Order Differentiator Based on Graphene-Based Metalines and Evolutionary Algorithms by Tian Zhang, Jia'nan Xie, Yihang Dan, Shuai Yu, Xu Han, Jian Dai, Kun Xu

“…We propose a novel optical spatial differentiator to perform the differentiation computation in terahertz region based on the graphene metalines, which consist of graphene layers with different widths and chemical potentials. The numerical simulation results show that when beam waist size w>1.9λ, the metalines perform the first-order differentiation in the reflection spectrum with efficiency>97%, which can be theoretically demonstrated by using transfer matrix method. …”
