Popis: Graphene is a material with exceptional optical, electrical and physicochemical properties that can be combined with dielectric waveguides. To date, several optical devices based on graphene have been modeled and fabricated operating in the near-infrared range and showing excellent performance and broad application prospects. This paper covers the main aspects of the optical behaviour of graphene and its exploitation as electrodes in several device configurations. The work compares the reported optical devices focusing on the wavelength tuning, showing how it can vary from a few hundred up to a few thousand picometers in the wavelength range of interest. This work could help and lead the design of tunable optical devices with integrated graphene layers that operate in the NIR.
