Abstract Terahertz (THz) radiation can revolutionize modern science and technology. To this date, it remains big challenges to develop intense, coherent tunable THz sources that cover the whole frequency region either by means of only electronics (both vacuum semiconductor electronics) or photonics (lasers, for example, quantum cascade laser). Here we present a mechanism which overcome these difficulties in generation. Due natural periodicity 2π both circular cylindrical graphene structure...
