Influence of optical nonlinearities on plasma waves in graphene

Abstract

A theory of the nonlinear plasma waves in graphene is developed in the nonperturbative regime. The influence of strong electric fields on the position and linewidth of plasma resonances in the far-infrared transmission experiments, as well as on the wavelength and the propagation length in the scanning near-field optical microscopy experiments is studied. The theory shows that the fields of order of a few to a few tens of kV/cm should lead to a red shift and broadening of plasma resonances in the first type and to a reduction of the wavelength and the propagation length in the second type of experiments.
