Analysis of All-Optical Generation of Graphene Surface Plasmons by a Frequency-Difference Process by Rui Dias, José C. Viana Gomes, Mikhail I. Vasilevskiy

“…In this work, we carefully calculate the relevant NL conductivities and show that, indeed, the experimental observations of the differential reflectance must have originated from physical processes beyond the coherent frequency-difference generation of SPs described by the density-matrix perturbation theory approach, presumably by hot-electron effects. We also suggest an alternative way of detecting optically generated SPs, which can be feasible at lower powers of the optical pulses. …”
