Mutual Rectification of Cnoidal and Sinusoidal Electromagnetic Waves with Orthogonal Polarization Planes in a Graphene-Based Superlattice

摘要

The effect of mutual rectification of two electromagnetic waves in a graphene superlattice is studied for a cnoidal wave polarized along the superlattice axis and a sinusoidal wave polarized along the orthogonal direction. An expression for the density of the direct current generated by mixing of these waves is obtained. The direct current is studied as a function of the cnoidal wave amplitude. The possibility of varying both the value and the direction of the direct current with varying the cnoidal wave amplitude is shown.
