Abstract
AbstractIn the present work we theoretically investigated the excitation of surface plasmon-polaritons (SPPs) in deformed graphene by attenuated total reflection method. We considered the Otto geometry for SPPs excitation in graphene. Efficiency of SPPs excitation strongly depends on the SPPs propagation direction. The frequency and the incident angle of the most effective excitation of SPPs strongly depend on the polarization of the incident light. Our results may open up the new possibilities for strain-induced molding flow of light at nanoscales.

Summary
Graphene is one of the materials which allows reaching the most possible miniaturization of nowadays devices – just a one atomic layer of thickness. It is important that graphene carrier concentration can be tuned by chemical doping or by applying an electric field, which allows varying its electrodynamic properties from highly conductive to dielectric. This feature makes graphene a very promising material for flatland photonics and plasmonics [1–5]. It is highly desirable to have the effective tools for control of SPPs characteristics This goal may be achieved by introducing some optically active materials into plasmonic structure [6–10].
