The type and density of carriers in graphene are important parameters to control its properties. Based on Terahertz (THz)-spectroscopy and electrical characterization of Nitrogen-doped graphene, we show that the doping level can be optically tuned between the p-type and intrinsic n-type regime [1]. This is achieved photochemically by controlling the dynamical equilibrium between the oxygen adsorption and desorption process via UV laser pulse irradiation treatment [2]. This approach is reversible, easy to use and contact free. This simple method can be used to write doping structures with spatial control by a focused laser beam, not requiring sophisticated nanostructuring to generate doping for instance by gate electrodes that need to be defined at the time of device fabrication.
