Graphene as a mono-atomic sheet has recently grabbed attention as a material with enormous properties. It has also been examined for enhancing absorbance in the current plasmonic structure. This has led to an increment in the sensitivity of the plasmonic sensors. In this paper, we present theoretical investigation of the novel graphene-based plasmonic metamaterial perfect absorber for biosensing applications. The simulation study performs the analysis of the novel plasmonic metamaterial absorber structure by adding coatings of graphene sheets. Each sheet of graphene enhances absorbance of the structure. In this study, we demonstrate three layers of graphene sheets lead to perfect absorbance (100%) for multiple bands in the visible and near-infrared regions. Furthermore, we also computed the sensitivity of the graphene-based proposed structure by varying the refractive index (RI) of the sensing region from 1.33–1.36 with RI change of 0.01. Proposed fabrication steps for realization of the device are also discussed. Full article

A one-dimensional plasma medium is playing a crucial role in modern sensing device design, which can benefit significantly from numerical electromagnetic wave simulation. In this study, we introduce a novel lattice Boltzmann scheme with a single extended force term for electromagnetic wave propagation in a one-dimensional plasma medium. This method is developed by reconstructing the solution to the macroscopic Maxwell’s equations recovered from the lattice Boltzmann equation. The final formulation of the lattice Boltzmann scheme involves only the equilibrium and one non-equilibrium force term. Among them, the former is calculated from the macroscopic electromagnetic variables, and the latter is evaluated from the dispersive effect. Thus, the proposed lattice Boltzmann scheme directly tracks the evolution of macroscopic electromagnetic variables, which yields lower memory costs and facilitates the implementation of physical boundary conditions. Detailed conduction is carried out based on the Chapman–Enskog expansion technique to prove the mathematical consistency between the proposed lattice Boltzmann scheme and Maxwell’s equations. Based on the proposed method, we present electromagnetic pulse propagating behaviors in nondispersive media and the response of a one-dimensional plasma slab to incident electromagnetic waves that span regions above and below the plasma frequency ωp, and further investigate the optical properties of a one-dimensional plasma photonic crystal with periodic thin layers of plasma with different layer thicknesses to verify the stability, accuracy, and flexibility of the proposed method.
