Residual current under the combined effect of carrier envelope phase and chirp: phase shift and peak enhancement

We theoretically investigate the residual current of linearly polarized light incident on graphene under the combined effect of carrier envelope phase and chirp. Phase shift and peak residual current enhancement are significantly obtained. Phase shift is the natural result of introducing a linear chirp in the presence of carrier envelope phase. By comparing the residual current integrated along the kx direction for different chirp rates and carrier envelope phases, the enhancement can be observed from two regions, where multiphoton interference is involved. By increasing the chirp rate, the light-graphene interaction turns from a non-perturbative to a perturbative regime. Thus the results of the combined effect can help to find suitable parameters to study regime transition and control of electronic dynamics. We expect that this study contributes to the signal processing at optical frequencies and to the development of optoelectronic integrated device applications.
