In this work, a nano-optomechanical system based on a doubly-clamped Z-shaped graphene nanoribbon (GNR) with an optical pump-probe scheme is proposed. We theoretically demonstrate the phenomenon of phonon-induced transparency and show an optical transistor in the system. In addition, the significantly enhanced nonlinear effect of the probe laser is also investigated, and we further put forward a nonlinear optical mass sensing that may be immune to detection noises. Molecules, such as NH3 and NO2, can be identified via using the nonlinear optical spectroscopy, which may be applied to environmental pollutant monitoring and trace chemical detection.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s140916740","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,9,9]],"date-time":"2014-09-09T09:51:28Z","timestamp":1410256288000},"page":"16740-16753","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Graphene-Based Nanoresonator with Applications in Optical Transistor and Mass Sensing"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Hua-Jun","family":"Chen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Artificial Structures and Quantum Control (Ministry of Education), Department of Physics and Astronomy, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai 200240, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ka-Di","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Artificial Structures and Quantum Control (Ministry of Education), Department of Physics and Astronomy, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai 200240, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,9,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"861","DOI":"10.1038\/nnano.2009.267","article-title":"Performance of monolayer graphene nanomechanical resonators with electrical readout","volume":"4","author":"Chen","year":"2009","journal-title":"Nat.
