Graphene shows great potential for optoelectronic applications but suffers from rather weak interaction with light due its single-atomic thickness. Here, we report the enhanced interaction of graphene and light for Raman transitions using localized surface plasmons. The plasmons are generated in silver nanoislands that we fabricate by simple means of metal deposition on top of graphene. Despite the broad size distribution of the nanoislands, we find a 100-fold enhancement of the Raman signal. We provide an analytical model for the description of the optical properties and obtain the scattering cross section as well as enhancement factors for the Raman transitions. In addition, we investigate, both optically and electrically, the doping that is introduced by the nanoislands.
