An epitaxial layer of graphene was grown on a 6H-SiC(0001) crystal, prepatterned with hexagonal nano-holes. The graphene layer covers the surface smoothly, without dislocations or grain boundaries. The necessary elastic deformation of graphene leads to a strain-induced modification of electron group velocity in the graphene layer, and to an increased time-of-flight across the nano-hole. We propose to use this effect to focus two-dimensional electrons in analogy with simple optical lenses.
