Non-linear graphene optics for terahertz applications

The linear electrodynamic properties of graphene—the frequency-dependent conductivity, the transmission spectra and collective excitations—are briefly outlined. The non-linear frequency multiplication effects in graphene are studied, taking into account the influence of the self-consistent-field effects and of the magnetic field. The predicted phenomena can be used for creation of new devices for microwave and terahertz optics and electronics.
