  Could a laser field lead to the much sought-after tunable bandgaps in
graphene? By using Floquet theory combined with Green's functions techniques,
we predict that a laser field in the mid-infrared range can produce observable
bandgaps in the electronic structure of graphene. Furthermore, we show how they
can be tuned by using the laser polarization. Our results could serve as a
guidance to design opto-electronic nano-devices.
