It is shown that graphene exhibits strong polarization-dependent optical absorption under total internal reflection. Compared with universal absorbance of 2.3%, larger absorption was observed in monolayer, bilayer, and few-layer graphenes for transverse electric (TE) wave under total internal reflection. Our result indicates that reflectance ratio of transverse magnetic wave to TE waves can easily provide the information of number of graphene layers. Furthermore, the enhanced light-graphene coupling in a wide spectral range will be great potential in many applications such as photodetector, photovoltaics, and optical sensor.
