We design a tunable plasmonic resonator that may have applications in sensing and plasmon generation-our design uses graphene-based Bragg reflectors of periodically modulated conductivity. Specifically, we explore and utilize the ability to use an array of Gaussian conductivity gratings as fully reflecting mirrors for surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) propagating along a two-dimensional graphene sheet sandwiched between two dielectric materials. Graphene supports SPPs in the near-infrared to terahertz (THz) regime of the electromagnetic spectrum compared to those observed in metal-dielectric systems.
