  9. ElectromagneticApproach D.V. Fateev, V.V. Popov, and M.S. Shur, Semiconductors 44, 1406 (2010) Electromagnetic approach treats the plasmon radiative damping self-consistently, which is important for describing the lasing process The system of the integral equations for the array of graphene microcavities over the structure period, 0 < x < L, is

  12. Plasmon Lasing Condition At lasing condition, the plasmon coherence in strongly non-equilibrium graphene is restored due to constructive balance of the plasmon gain and plasmon radiative damping:

  15. Conclusions • Giant amplification (exceeding 103) and lasing of THz radiation due to stimulated generation of plasmons in the array of graphene resonant micro/nanocavities is predicted. • The amplification of THz wave at the plasmon resonance frequencies is several orders of magnitude stronger than away from the resonances. • THz lasing is possible for strong coupling between plasmons and THz radiation due to constructive balance of the plasmon gain and plasmon radiative damping. The lasing at the plasmon resonance is achieved when the plasmon gain balances the dissipative and radiative plasmon damping. • Giant THz wave amplification is ensured due to strong plasmon confinement, plasmon local-field enhancement, and superradiant nature of THz emission by the array of plasmonic micro/nanocavities.
