Abstract

Graphene is a most suitable 2D material for Terahertz surface plasmons generation (THz-SPs). An efficient mechanism of THz SPs generation in graphene-coated optical fiber is proposed. The thickness of the graphene sheet and radius of an optical fiber are important parameters to influence the THz SPs resonant frequency. Two lasers exert a ponderomotive force at difference frequency on the electrons in graphene and it induces a nonlinear current which driving the THz SPs. The normalized amplitude of graphene THz SPs decreases with frequency because the nonlinear coupling gets weaker. This scheme will be useful making the compact THz GPs source, THz plasmon sensors, and would be useful for making the graphene cylindrical waveguide have applications in various disciplines of science and medical science.
