Recent Advances in Graphene Nanophotonics

There are growing advantages to the use of graphene-based nanophotonics in communication, sensing, security, safety, spectroscopy, manufacturing, biomedicine, agriculture, imaging, and other fields. These advantages, as well as the numerous challenges associated with this technology and proposed solutions to these challenges, are summarized in this book. The key objective of the book is to serve as a single-source reference for the rapidly expanding application aspects of the technology of graphene-based nanophotonics, as well as the number of modules required for their successful implementation. This book seeks to give readers a comprehensive understanding of several elements of graphene-based nanophotonics, such as emerging application areas, the design and modelling of sensors, absorbers, optical fiber, encoders, etc. A complete view of the progress and breakthroughs in novel materials for sensing, detecting and encoding technology is presented. The book also emphasizes theconsequences of THz signals on human health, as well as the environmental components of THz. This book will be of tremendous value for those with an interest in electronic engineering, particularly those keeping an eye on this emerging technology.

Sofyan A. Taya obtained his Ph.D. degree from Ain Shams University, Cairo, Egypt, in 2007. He worked as an assistant professor at the Physics Department of the Islamic University of Gaza in the period 2008-2013. He then became an associate professor of Physics from 2013-2018, and subsequently a full professor of theoretical physics –optoelectronics in the same department. His research interests focus on the fields of integrated Optics for sensor applications, waveguides, ellipsometry, OLEDs, numerical techniques, nonlinear optics, applications of left-handed materials and photonic crystals. He has published about 150 articles in international referred journals. He has participated in many international and local conferences. He was given the Abdul Hameed Shoman Award for Young Arab Researchers, Jordan, in 2012. He was named as one the top 2% of researchers around the world based on a study conducted by the global publishing house Elsevier and Stanford University in the United States in August 2021.
