With the appearance of the linearly polarized electromagnetic wave, the laser radiation field and the dc electric field, analytic expressions for the density of the direct current are calculated by the quantum kinetic equation. The dependence of the direct current density on the frequency of the laser radiation field, the frequency of the linearly polarized electromagnetic wave and the temperature of the system is obtained. The analytic expressions are numerically evaluated and plotted for a specific quantum wire, GaAs/AlGaAs. The difference of the density of the direct current in the quantum wires from quantum well and bulk semiconductor is due to potential barrier and characteristic parameters of system. These results are for every temperature and are new results. Keywords: The photon, drag effect, the density of the direct current, cylindrical quantum wire, electrons, acoustic phonon, infinite potential. 1. Introduction The photon-drag effect is explained by propagation electromagnetic wave carriers which absorb both energy and electromagnetic wave momentum, thereby electrons are generated with directed motion and a constant current is created in this direction. The presence of intense laser radiation can also influence electrical conductivity and kinetic effects in material [1]-[12]. The photon-drag effect has been researched in semiconductors [1],
