Abstract

Theoretical results are reported, concerning the reflection and transmisson of few–cycle laser pulses on a very thin conducting layer, which may represent the surface current density of the massless relativistic charges of graphene. It is shown that the pulse may undergo violent distortions to that extent, that the scattered radiation contains rectangular trains, which are approximate physical realizations of Rademacher functions in the optical or terahetz regime.
