Gravitational Waves, Terahertz Magnetic Field, and Laser Pumping of Graphene: Theoretical Model and Prospects

Abstract This paper proposes and develops a theoretical model that links the generation of gravitational waves (GW) to the effect of laser radiation on graphene structures via a terahertz (THz) magnetic field. Within the hypothesis of the terahertz nature of gravity, the variable THz field induced by a laser in graphene is considered as a source of modulated flux of hypothetical gravitational quanta — terahertzons. Mathematical dependencies of the gravitational wave amplitude on laser power, system mass, and frequency are derived. It is shown that the effect is extremely small for modern laboratory conditions; however, the model opens new directions for fundamental research at the intersection of optoelectronics, quantum physics, and gravity theory.
