Abstract
The linear and nonlinear optical response of graphene are studied within a quantum-mechanical, full-band, steady-state density-matrix model. This nonpurtabative method predicts the saturatable absorption and saturable four-wave mixing of graphene. The model includes and time constants that denote carrier relaxation and quantum decoherence, respectively. Fits to existing experimental data yield due to carrier–carrier scattering. is found to be on the timescale from to , showing agreement with experimental data obtained by differential transmission measurements.
