Ultrashort optical pulse propagation in a double layer of graphene boron nitride with accounting the material dispersion
Abstract
The propagation of ultra-short optical pulses in a thin film created by graphene grown on a boron nitride base will be considered, taking into account the environment’s dispersion characteristics, electron conduction in such a system described by the framework of an effective long-wave Hamiltonian for low-temperature media. The electromagnetic field is taken as classical Maxwell’s. We reveal the dependence of the electric field on the maximum amplitude of ultra-short optical pulses, as well as on empirical dispersion constants.
