Abstract
We compute the optical conductivity of graphene beyond the usual Dirac-cone approximation, giving results that are valid in the visible region of the conductivity spectrum. The effect of next-nearest-neighbor hopping is also discussed. Using the full expression for the optical conductivity, the transmission and reflection coefficients are given. We find that even in the optical regime the corrections to the Dirac-cone approximation are surprisingly small a few percent. Our results help in the interpretation of the experimental results reported by Nair et al. Science 320, 1308 2008.

Measurement of the optical conductivity of graphene.

TL;DR: Graphene yielded a spectrally flat optical absorbance in agreement with a constant absorbance of pialpha, or a sheet conductivity of pie2/2h, predicted within a model of noninteracting massless Dirac fermions, which is explained by including the effects of doping and finite temperature, as well as contributions from intraband transitions.

Optical and magneto-optical far-infrared properties of bilayer graphene

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the spectroscopic features of bilayer graphene determined by the formation of pairs of low-energy and split bands in this material and showed that the inter-Landau-level absorption spectrum in bilayer GPs at high magnetic field is much denser in the far-infrared range than that in monolayer material and that the polarization dependence of its lowest energy peak can be used to test the form of the bilayer ground state in the quantum Hall-effect regime.
