We discuss the properties of surface plasmons-polaritons in graphene and describe four possible ways of coupling electromagnetic radiation in the terahertz (THz) spectral range to this type of surface waves: (i) the attenuated total reflection (ATR) method using a prism in the Otto configuration, (ii) graphene micro-ribbon arrays or monolayers with modulated conductivity, (iii) a metal stripe on top of the graphene layer, and (iv) graphene-based gratings. The text provides a number of original results along with their detailed derivation and discussion.
