(a) Energy band structure of graphene near the Dirac point and schematic diagrams of the possible optical transitions: interband (left) and intraband (right). (b) Real part of the surface conductivity from 10–2 THz to 103 THz in graphene with different Fermi levels. The contribution from intraband transitions and interband transitions are also plotted in orange and blue lines, respectively.
