Abstract

A theory of the optical surface two-photon small-amplitude breather in a multilayer system of the isotropic and anisotropic left-hand metamaterials, when there are a graphene monolayer (graphene-like twodimensional material) and a transition layer with impurity optical atoms (semiconductor quantum dots), is constructed. It is shown that the system of constitutive equations for two-photon transitions and wave equation for a surface plasmon–polariton TM mode are reduced to the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with damping. Explicit analytical expressions for a surface two-photon small-amplitude self-induced transparency breather (0π-pulse) are obtained. It is shown that the optical conductivity of graphene leads to the exponential damping of intensity of a surface two-photon nonlinear wave during the propagation. One- and two-photon small-amplitude breathers in graphene are compared, and it is shown that differences between their parameters are substantial.
