Terahertz light amplification of stimulated emission of radiation in optically pumped graphene

The gapless and linear energy spectra of electrons and holes in graphene lead to nontrivial features such as negative dynamic conductivity in the terahertz spectral range. This paper reviews recent advances in theoretical and experimental study on terahertz light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation in optically pumped graphene.
