▎ 摘  要

The electro-optical response of graphene due to heating and drift of carriers is studied theoretically. Real and imaginary parts of the dynamic conductivity tensor are calculated for the case of effective momentum relaxation, when anisotropic contributions are small. We use the quasiequilibrium distribution of electrons and holes, characterized by the effective temperature of carriers and by concentrations, which are controlled by gate voltage and in-plane electric field. The geometry of normal propagation of probe radiation is considered; spectral and field dependences of the reflection coefficient and the relative absorption are analyzed. The ellipticity degree of the reflected and transmitted radiations due to small birefringence of a graphene sheet with current has also been determined.
