Detection of Terahertz Radiation in Graphene Structure under Conditions of Strong Spatial Inhomogeneity of the Plasmon Electric Field

Background and Objectives: Research of terahertz (THz) wave rectification in graphene shows the increase of the rectified current in p-n graphene structures relatively to graphene having only n- or p-type of conductivity. The p-n junctions in graphene may be created by both a chemical or electrical doping of graphene. There were discussed several physical mechanisms for wave rectification in graphene structures, that are the photothermoelectric effect, Drude heating of carriers by THz radiation and nonlinear plasmonic effects.

Negative Dispersion, Refraction and Backward Polaritons: Impedance Approach

Background and Objectives: The dispersion equations of surface plasmon-polaritons are derived for the general case of layered dissipative structures. The waves are classified as gliding with energy flow into structure from vacuum and leakage ones. The dispersion equations and conditions for the existence of slow and fast gliding and leaky waves, as well as forward and backward waves are considered.
