We present the analysis of high-frequency (dynamic) conductivity with the spatial dispersion, $\sigma (\omega, {\bf q})$, of two-dimensional electron gas subjected to a high electric field. We found that at finite wavevector, ${\bf q}$, and at high fields, the high-frequency conductivity shows following peculiarities: strong non-reciprocal dispersion; oscillatory behavior; a set of frequency regions with negative $\sigma'$; non-exponential decay of $\sigma'$ and $\sigma''$ with frequency (opposite to the Landau damping mechanism). We illustrate the general results by calculations of spectral characteristics of particular plasmonic heterostructures on the basis of III-V semiconductor compounds. We conclude that the detailed analysis of the spatial dispersion of the dynamic conductivity of 2DEG subjected to high electric fields is critically important for different THz applications.
