•A novel monolayer graphene structure have been proposed.•A very obvious dual plasmon induced transparency effect can be achieved.•The design keeps the graphene monolayer in a continuous form.•The design has the benefit of preserving the high mobility of graphene.•The proposed structure has an excellent slow light performance. We have studied a simple novel graphene ribbon structure. A very excellent and prominent dual graphene plasmon induced transparency phenomenon could be achieved by the destructive interference resulted from the excited plasmonic modes in terahertz band. Using the simple relationship between graphene and applied voltage, a good tunable effect of this structure can be achieved. The transmission of this proposed structure is theoretically investigated by using the equivalent resonator coupled mode method. The theoretical data from our proposed method are in good agreement with the numerical simulation results. Moreover, utilizing the high dispersion property, we have also researched the slow light effect for this proposed system. The results of theoretical research have indicated that the group refractive index of our proposed structure can maintain an excellent numerical value. This investigation can play a significant role in the tunable graphene-based slow light devices.
