We demonstrate an all-optical modulator based on self-modulation in a one-dimensional slab photonic crystal (PhC) by using\noptical Kerr nonlinearity of graphene and Fano resonance effect. It has been shown that the effect of Fano resonance in a one dimensional\nslab PhC for intensity enhancement can provide low threshold (âË?¼1MW/cm2), high frequency (>1 THz), and wide\ndynamic range (>3 THz) tunability for the all-optical self-modulator. Such a self-modulator can find applications in optical pulse\ngenerations, optical clocks, frequency shifting, and so forth.
