Abstract:: In view of the applications of Forster resonant energy transfer (FRET) in biological systems which especially require FRET in the infrared region, we investigate the great advantage of graphene plasmonics in such studies. Focusing on the fundamental aspects of FRET between a donoracceptor pair on a graphene platform showing that FRET mediated by the plasmons in graphene is broadband and enhanced by six orders of magnitude. We briefly discuss the impact of phononpolaritonic substrates.
