摘要：

Excitation of surface plasmons supported by doped graphene sheets at terahertz frequencies is investigated numerically. To alleviate the momentum mismatch between the highly confined plasmon modes and the incident radiation, it is proposed to increase the surface conductivity of eraphene through high doping levels or with few-layer graphene. For currently achievable doping levels, our analysis shows that surface plasmons on monolayer graphene may be excited at operating frequencies up to about 10 THz (similar to 41.3meV) with a high-index coupling prism, and higher frequencies/energies are possible for few-layer graphene. These highly confined surface modes are promising for sensing and waveguiding applications in the terahertz regime. (C) 2012 American Institute of Physics. [http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4752465]
