| Summary: | Abstract Background The scattering of H- and E-polarized plane waves by a two-dimensional (2-D) parabolic reflector made of graphene and placed in the free space is studied numerically. Methods To obtain accurate results we use the Method of Analytical Regularization. Results The total scattering cross-section and the absorption cross-section are computed, together with the field magnitude in the geometrical focus of reflector. The surface plasmon resonances are observed in the H-case. The focusing ability of the reflector is studied in dependence of graphene’s chemical potential, frequency, and reflector’s depth. Conclusions It is found that there exists an optimal range of frequencies where the focusing ability reaches maximum values. The reason is the quick degradation of graphene’s surface conductivity with frequency.
