▎ 摘 要
We propose a mechanism for the generation of second harmonic terahertz surface plasmon waves by incident terahertz electromagnetic radiation (omega, k(0)) over a graphene surface deposited on the rippled dielectric substrate (SiO2). A p-polarized THz radiation incident obliquely on the graphene surface exerts a nonlinear ponderomotive force on free electrons in the rippled regime. This nonlinear ponderomotive force imparts oscillatory velocity to the electrons at frequency 2 omega. Second harmonic oscillatory velocity couples with the modulated electron density and generates a nonlinear current density that drives second harmonic terahertz surface plasmon waves. Rippled surface provides an extra wave number for the phase matching condition to produce resonantly second harmonic at frequency 2 omega and wavenumber (2k(0z) + q). We examine the tunable response of second harmonic terahertz surface plasmon waves with respect to change in Fermi energy of graphene and laser incident angle. Second harmonic amplitude gets higher values by lowering the Fermi energy (E-F) and increasing incident angle.
