Abstract:

In this presentation we will review the electron dynamics in graphene subject to ultrafast, picosecond-timescale electrical signals. The conduction properties of graphene in such ultrafast fields, corresponding to terahertz (THz) field oscillation frequencies, is crucial for understanding and prediction of graphene performance in ultra- high-speed (opto-) electronic devices such as THz transistors, modulators, detectors etc. The physical picture of ultrafast (photo-) conduction in graphene will be presented, and its consequences for graphene performance in various ultra-high-speed electronics applications will be discussed.
