We experimentally demonstrated graphene plasmon resonant absorption in mid-IR by utilizing an
array of graphene nanoribbon resonators on SiO2 substrate. By tuning resonator width we probed
the graphene plasmons with λp ≤ λ0/100 and plasmon resonances as high as 0.240 eV (2100 cm-1) for 40 nm wide nanoresonators. Resonant absorption spectra revealed plasmon dispersion as well
as plasmon damping due to the interaction of graphene plasmons with the surface polar phonons in
SiO2 substrate and intrinsic graphene optical phonons. Graphene nanoribbons with varying
widths enabled us to identify the damping mechanisms of graphene plasmons and much reduced
damping was observed when the plasmon resonance frequencies were close to the substrate polar
phonon frequencies. Then, by direct ebeam exposure of graphene nanoresonators, we effectively
changed the carrier density and caused red-shift of the plasmon spectra. This work will provide
insight into light-sensitive, frequency-tunable photodetectors based on graphene’s plasmonic
excitations.
