Graphene is a recently discovered carbon-based material with unique physical properties. This is a monolayer of graphite, and the two-dimensional electrons and holes in it are described by the effective Dirac equation with a vanishing effective mass. As a consequence, the electromagnetic response of graphene is predicted to be strongly nonlinear. We develop a quasi-classical kinetic theory of the nonlinear electromagnetic response of graphene, taking into account the self-consistent-field effects. The response of the system to both harmonic and pulse excitation is considered. The frequency multiplication effect, resulting from the nonlinearity of the electromagnetic response, is studied under realistic experimental conditions. The frequency upconversion efficiency is analyzed as a function of the applied electric field and parameters of the samples. Possible applications of graphene in terahertz electronics are discussed.
