Graphene-based hyperbolic metamaterials (HMMs) enable new possibilities that are not attainable with conventional metal-based HMMs, such as tunability of optical properties and the ability to combine with graphene-based photodetection. A graphene HMM is made of alternating graphene-dielectric multilayers, whose properties can be understood with the effective-medium approximation (EMA). The initial experimental realization of this novel metamaterial has been demonstrated with a far-field measurement, and in this paper we investigate the light coupling from free space into a graphene HMM slab with a metallic grating using numerical simulations. We show that light can be efficiently coupled into the high-k guided modes in the HMM slab and be absorbed by the graphene layers, which can be applied to create ultrathin super absorbers.
