Abstract

We have developed deposition of vertically aligned graphene sheets on Cu foils by surface wave microwave plasma CVD and the transfer from Cu foil to quartz substrate to evaluate optical reflectances and transmittances of the inherent vertical aligned graphene sheets. Both reflectance and transmittance spectra are almost independent of incident angles in the range between 300 and 800nm. The reflectance is lower than 0.067%, which is lower than those of the commercial black alumite plate. The transmittances are less than the detection limit of the system. It is considered that the obtained low reflectance is attributed to the unique structure of the vertically aligned graphene sheets.
