Abstract:Electro-optic modulation based on a graphene nanoelectromechanical system (NEMS) with superlubricity is proposed and systematically theoretical investigated. We demonstrate that the superlubricity greatly improve the performance of photoelectric modulators based on graphene NEMS due to its extremely low coefficient of friction. The modulation voltage of graphene NEMS electro-optic modulation with superlubricity can be reduced to 200 mV, which is 1–3 orders of magnitude larger lower than that of the traditional electro-optical modulator, giving rise to a dramatic reduction of the power...
