  We propose an experimentally friendly scheme for trapping quasi- relativistic
elec- trons in graphene by an electromagnetic beam with circular polarization
and spatially inhomogeneous profile with an intensity dip. The trapping is
achieved due to the ef- fect of bandgap opening outside the trapping region.
The proposed mechanism allows for non- invasive electron confinement in
graphene without any need of the chemical patterning of the sample or the
application of metallic gates.
