High harmonics generation (HHG) allows to study the nonlinear THz properties of e.g. single layer graphene by means of THz emission spectroscopy which can be explained by a simple thermodynamic model. Recently our collaboration successfully showed that (i) the nonlinearity of graphene can be controlled over two orders of magnitude by applying moderate gate voltages in the sub-Volt regime and (ii) that a specifically designed grating-graphene meta-material enables further increase in the THz nonlinearity via plasmonic field enhancement. Therein we have focused on odd-order nonlinearities, since monolayer graphene is a centrosymmetric material, where even-order susceptibilities cancel out. As a next step we plan to investigate if an effective 2nd order nonlinearity can be efficiently generated by applying appropriate in-plane DC electric fields, thus breaking the inversion symmetry, such as what has recently been demonstrated and observed in GaAs. Preparations for this experiment and its feasibility are discussed.
