We introduce the new concept of "metalines" for manipulating the amplitude and phase profile of an incident wave locally and independently. Thanks to the highly confined graphene plasmons, a transmit-array of graphene-based metalines is used to realize analog computing on an ultracompact, integrable, and planar platform. By employing the general concepts of spatial Fourier transformation, a well-designed structure of such meta-transmit-array, combined with graded index (GRIN) lenses, can perform two mathematical operations, i.e., differentiation and integration, with high efficiency. The presented configuration is about 60 times shorter than the recent structure proposed by Silva et al.... 

A highly efficient two-dimensional meta-reflect-array manipulating the phase and amplitude of far-infrared electromagnetic wave is proposed. The reflect array consists of patterned graphene nano-disks resides on a subwavelenght thick optical cavity to enhance the interaction of electromagnetic wave. It is shown that the reflected wave from each unit cell can almost cover the 2π range phase shift by changing the radius of the graphene nano-disks while at the same time maximizes its amplitude. Proposing a transmission line model for the proposed structure, we realize a meta lens as a flat optics functionality. © 2016 IEEE  

we propose a graphene-covered subwavelength metallic grating where the Fermi level of graphene is sinusoidally modulated as a leaky-wave antenna at terahertz frequencies. This structure can convert spoof surface plasmon guided waves to free-space radiation due to the tunability of graphene. Analysis and design of the proposed leaky-wave antenna are discussed based on sinusoidally modulated surface impedance. The surface impedance is obtained by an analytical circuit model. The sinusoidal surface impedance is realized using modulation of the conductivity of graphene by applying a bias voltage. The proposed leaky-wave antenna is capable of electronic beam scanning with an almost constant gain... 

We propose an unprecedented transmit-array configuration which can mold the incident beam by modulating phase and amplitude wavefronts. The transmit-array is composed of patterned graphene metasurfaces as shunt admittance sheets. Thanks to the exceptional features of graphene such as tunability, thinness, low loss, and high confinement of graphene plasmons, the proposed subwavelength structure passes strict touchstones for nano-photonic and optoelectronic applications. Two flat-optics functionalities, i.e., focusing and splitting, are realized by means of the proposed configuration  

The scattering of graphene surface plasmons normally incident on a line discontinuity in graphene surface conductivity is investigated. The effect of the length of the transition region on the reflection and transmission coefficients is studied. It is shown that the reflection coefficient is reduced by widening the transition region. Based on the results obtained, a transmission line model is derived for the graphene sheet in which the discontinuity is represented by a simple circuit. This model is next used to design graphene-based bandpass and bandstop filters with arbitrary bandwidth in the terahertz regime
