Patterning graphene in plasmonic structures leads to resonant absorption and an increased light-matter interaction that also results in enhanced THz non-linear absorption. The charge carriers in graphene can be heated efficiently, leading to a decrease in chemical potential. This causes an ultrafast redshift of the plasmon frequency, and thus a strong increase in transmission at the resonance frequency. Here we study the dynamics of THz plasmons in an array of micrometer sized discs of bilayer graphene on SiC. These plasmons hybridize with the cyclotron motion in strong magnetic fields leading to splitting of the plasmon resonance into two branches that can be distinguished with circularly polarized radiation. We experimentally and theoretically investigate the nonlinear absorption in magnetic fields of up to 10T. A two-temperature model is used to simulate the time dependent temperature of the charge carriers. The results are in good agreement with pump-probe measurements performed at the free-electron laser FELBE at HZDR.
