The temperature relaxation and energy loss of hot Dirac fermions are investigated theoretically in graphene with carrier-optical phonon scattering. The time evolutions of temperature and energy loss for hot Dirac fermions in graphene are calculated self-consistently. It shows that the carrier-optical phonon coupling results in the energy relaxation of hot carriers excited by an electric field, and the relaxation time for temperature is about 0.5-1 ps and the corresponding energy loss is about 10-25 nW per carrier for typically doped graphene samples with a carrier density range of 1-5 x 10(12) cm(-2). Moreover, we analyze the dependence of temperature and energy relaxation on initial hot carrier temperature, lattice temperature and carrier density in detail.
