Grating plays a pivotal role in various optical systems owing to its unique dispersion properties. However, the traditional grating has fixed functionalities once fabricated. In this paper, a tunable grating based on a hybrid interdigitated electrodes-dielectric-graphene structure is proposed. The carrier on the graphene exhibits a periodic distribution when the voltage is applied on the electrode, which makes the graphene behave like a grating. Herein, the duty cycle and height of the grating can be dynamically controlled by the voltage. The numerical result shows that the absorption in graphene changes by 10.2% at the wavelength of 7 . 4 μ m when the designed structure is utilized to excite the surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) since the excitation efficiency of SPPs varies with the parameters of grating. This new type of grating will have a potential application in future modulators, photodetectors and sensors. • We proposed dynamic grating with tunable duty cycle and height based on a hybrid interdigitated electrodes-dielectric-graphene structure. The carrier density on the graphene surface exhibit a periodic spatial distribution when the voltage is applied on the electrode, and the graphene presents different optical properties like a tunable grating as the voltage changes. • The simulation results showed that the absorption in graphene changes by 10.2% at the wavelength of 7 . 4 μ m when the proposed structure is utilized to excite the surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) since the excitation efficiency of SPPs varies with the duty cycle. • The distribution of electric intensity at different voltage varied obvious, and performed a good function of switch.
