Graphene-based multimode interference device design for optical switching applications

The relatively small size and low energy consuming switching potential offered by graphene-based electro-optic and electro-absorption switches has attracted a lot of attention in the photonics community recently and there has been no research on integrating graphene on an MMI so far to my knowledge....
