Circular-Photon-Drag-Effect-Induced Elliptically Polarized Terahertz Emission from Vertically Grown Graphene
Abstract
The circular photon drag effect (CPDE) is important for helicity-dependent optoelectronic emitters and detectors, but in graphene the relatively weak light-matter interaction gets drowned out by other nonlinear optical effects. Vertically grown graphene (VGG), though, with its particular symmetry point group, can exclude the other effects and enhance the light-graphene interaction. This study of the CPDE from VGG shows that the emitted THz states can be tuned to have linear or left- or right-handed elliptical polarization, by changing the helicity of the pump laser. This observation points to graphene-based polarization-sensitive THz sources for chiral analysis.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
