Figure 6

Transmission of the device when tbuffer changes on a linear scale (a) and a logarithmic scale (b), at the corresponding critical coupling chemical potential (solid line) and zero chemical potential (dashed line) of graphene. There is a trade-off between the insertion loss and the chemical potential change required for the full transmission modulation. There is some frequency tuning effect but not quite significant compared to simple tuning of the air gap distance discussed above.
