In this study, we propose a novel approach to THz wave detection using an asymmetrically gated graphene field-effect transistor (GFET). By utilizing two sets of gates arranged in an asymmetric manner, we achieve periodic modulation of the carrier density along the channel. Previous research has explored various mechanisms for THz detection, including the photo-thermalelectric (PTE) effect, photovoltaic (PV) effect, bolometric (BM) effect, and plasma rectification (PR). While PR has been observed in a direct-current photoresponse, but yet to be in fast temporal response. Our study aims to provide direct evidence of PR-based fast-speed detection in a GFET. We apply a specific bias to the asymmetrically gated GFET, resulting in a periodically arranged carrier density and observing clear evidence of PR in the graphene channel.
