Graphene plasmons have become promising candidates for deep-subwavelength nanoscale optical devices due to their strong field confinement and low damping.Among these nanoscale optical devices,band-pass filter for wavelength selection and noise filtering are key devices in an integrated optical circuit.However,plasmonic filters are still oversized because large resonant cavities are needed to perform frequency selection.Here,an ultra-compact filter integrated in a graphene plasmonic waveguide was designed,where a rectangular resonant cavity is inside a graphene nanoribbon waveguide.The properties of the filter were studied using the finite-difference time-domain method and demonstrated using the analytical model.The results demonstrate the band-pass filter has a high quality factor(20.36)and electrically tunable frequency response.The working frequency of the filter could also be tuned by modifying the cavity size.Our work provides a feasible structure for a graphene plasmonic nano-filter for future use in integrated optical circuits.
