electron “optics” in graphene
Semiclassical electron trajectories are analogous to the rays in geometrical optics.
If the mfp is long, one may be able to realize graphene analogues of optical devices.

conclusions
1) For abrupt graphene PN junctions transmission is reduced due to wavefunction mismatch.
2) For graded junctions, tunneling reduces transmission and sharply focuses it.
3) Normal incident rays transmit perfectly
4) The conductance of a graphene PN junction can be considerably less than that of an NN junction.
5) Graphene PN junctions may affect measurements and may be useful for focusing and guiding electrons.
