abstract = {The potential of graphene for photonic applications was
evidenced by recent demonstrations of modulators,
polarizationrotators and isolators. These promising yet
preliminary results raise crucial questions: what is the
optimal performanceachievable by more complex designs and
how can this optimum be achieved in practice? We answer by
first demonstratingthat the relevant figures of merit for
the devices above are subject to absolute theoretical upper
bounds. Strikingly, theselimits are related only to the
conductivity tensor of graphene; thus, we can provide
essential roadmap information such asthe best possible
device performance versus wavelength and graphene quality.
Second, based on the theory developed,physical insight and
detailed simulations, we demonstrate how structures closely
approaching these fundamental limitscan be designed,
demonstrating the possibility of significant improvement.
These results are believed to be of paramountimportance for
the design of modulators, rotators and isolators using
graphene or other two-dimensional materials.},
