    Background. The relevance of the topic is due to the need to master the infrared (IR) range for optical telecommunication systems, IR spectroscopy and biophotonics applications and is dictated by the needs of nonlinear IR optics for the implementation of active optical functions based on graphene, such as generation of IR radiation, frequency conversion for applications in optical communications, materials processing, precision measurements, spectroscopic sensing and biological sensors. The purpose of this work is to present the principles of construction and operation of electrically tunable nonlinear devices in the far and mid-IR range: harmonic generators and multipliers, frequency converters and mixers based on graphene metasurfaces using the latest achievements of graphene plasmonics. Materials and methods. Graphene plasmonics. Results and conclusions. The unique properties make electronically controlled nonlinear devices in the far and medium IR range a promising choice for the future nonlinear frequency converter, optical control and information processing on a graphene plasmonics board

    Background. The introduction of nanoantennas for optical wireless communications in the infrared (IR) and visible bands enables higher data rates while reducing antenna size. The ability to tune the characteristics of graphene by chemical doping or bias voltage is relevant in the development of reconfigurable nanoantennas. The goal of the work is to study the characteristics (S-parameters, radiation patterns (RP)) of plasmonic graphene nanoantenna (PGNA) arrays, their controllability and the possibility of frequency scanning when changing the chemical potential of graphene (by applying an external electric field) in the mid-IR range. Matherials and methods. The use of graphene, which has good electrical conductivity, controlled conductivity and plasmonic properties in the terahertz (THz), far-IR and mid-IR ranges, is one of the most promising alternatives to noble metals (Au and Ag) as plasmonic materials at optical frequencies only. Modeling of the characteristics of PGNA arrays was carried out using the electrodynamic modeling program CST Microwave Studio 2019, which makes it possible to solve scientific problems associated with the design of graphene antennas in the IR wavelength range. Results. The results of modeling the controllability of the characteristics (S-parameters, DP) of a element of the antenna array (PGNA of rectangular geometry) and PGNA arrays at the resonant frequencies of the fundamental mode of surface plasmon polaritons (SPP) are obtained and the possibility of scanning in frequency when changing the chemical potential of graphene (by applying an external electric fields) in the mid-IR range. Conclusions. From the results of modeling the characteristics of PGNA arrays, it follows that with an increase in the chemical potential of graphene (in the range of values 0,3–1 eV), the operating frequencies are adjusted (frequency scanning) in the mid-IR range, the gain of the PGNA array increases, the RP main lobe narrows, and the RP side lobe level decrease; with an increase in the number of single elements (N = 256), the levels of the RP side lobes decrease and better controllability of the RP main lobe is observed

    Background. The purpose of this work is a numerical study of the features of magnetoplasmonic effects arising from the diffraction of THz waves on graphene metasurfaces in external magnetic fields. Materials and methods. The advantage of graphene over conventional plasmonic materials for use in plasmonic and magneto-optical devices is the high sensitivity of surface magnetoplasmon-polaritons to external magnetic fields, since the cyclotron frequency is comparable to the plasmonic frequency in the THz and far IR ranges. A numerical study of magnetoplasmonic resonances of graphene metasurfaces depending on the induction of an external magnetic field and modeling of 3D e-Field scattering patterns on an element of a graphene metasurface (rectangular graphene nanoribbon) was carried out using the CST Microwave Studio program. To solve the electrodynamic diffraction problem using MWS CST, a method was chosen to analyze a graphene metasurface (an infinite periodic 2D structure) by applying periodicity conditions that reduce the problem for an infinite structure to the analysis of one period. Results. The results of modeling the 3D e-Field scattering diagram on an element of a magnetically biased graphene metasurface (a rectangular graphene nanoribbon) of an incident TEM-wave of p- and s-polarization for the vertical and horizontal components of the diffracted field at magnetoplasmon resonance frequencies in the THz range. An analysis of magnetoplasmonic effects was performed based on the calculation of the ratio of components of the diffracted field and the axial ratio at the points of cross-section (φ=0˚) of the main lobe of the 3D e-Field scattering diagrams at normal incidence of a TEM-wave of p- and s-polarization. Conclusions. From the results of the numerical study of the characteristics of the magnetically biased graphene metasurfaces it follows that magnetoplasmonic effects are observed at resonant frequencies, i.e. the appearance of another component of the diffracted field, orthogonal to the exciting one, as well as the magneto-optical effects of rotation of the plane of polarization of the transmitted wave (Faraday effect), rotation of the plane of polarization and the appearance of ellipticity of a linearly polarized wave during reflection of a linearly polarized wave from the graphene surface (magneto-optical Kerr effect), depending on the magnitude of the external magnetic field

    В работе исследовался Лахунский ветеринарный папирус. Была сделана иероглифическая транскрипция, транслитерация и перевод, сопоставлены различные трактовки текста, в том числе с точки зрения медицины. Весьма примечательным кажется то, что текст записан линейной иероглификой. Было предложено два возможных объяснения этой проблемы: 1) линейная иероглифика используется как средство борьбы со смертью; 2) Линейная иероглифика используется ввиду тесной связи текста с жертвенными ритуалами и сакральной сферой.The subject of the paper is the Lahun Veterinary papyrus. There was accomplished hieroglyphic transcription, transliteration and translation of the text. The most prominent feature of the text is that it was written in linear hieroglyphics. The author supposes two possible explanations of this issue: linear hieroglyphics was considered to be an effective cure for death; the papyrus was closely related to sacrifices, so linear hieroglyphics was used
