Abstract
Conference Title: 2018 Progress in Electromagnetics Research Symposium (PIERS-Toyama) Conference Start Date: 2018, Aug. 1 Conference End Date: 2018, Aug. 4 Conference Location: Toyama, Japan Utilizing graphene's high absorption coefficient, we surgically tailor and deploy graphene on targeted segments on a silicon waveguide to absorb spurious propagating TE 0 or TE 1 modes in mode-division multiplexing systems.
