Plasmon excitation on flat graphene by s-polarized beams using four-wave mixing by Tao, Jin, Dong, Zhaogang, Yang, Joel K. W., Wang, Qi Jie

“…However, exciting plasmons on graphene effectively still remains a challenge owing to the large wave-vector mismatch between the optical beam in air and graphene plasmon. In this paper, we present a novel scheme capable of exciting graphene surface plasmons (GSPs) on a flat suspended graphene by using only s-polarized optical beams through four-wave mixing (FWM) process, where the GSPs fields were derived analytically based on the Green's function analysis, under the basis of momentum conservation. …”
