Abstract: We report studies of cyclotron resonance in monolayer graphene. Cyclotron resonance is detected using the photoconductive response of the sample for several different Landau level occupancies. The experiments measure an electron velocity at the $K$ (Dirac) point of ${c}_{K}^{*}=1.093\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{6}\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{m}\phantom{\rule{0.2em}{0ex}}{\mathrm{s}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$, which is substantially larger than in thicker graphitic systems. In addition we observe a significant asymmetry between the electron and hole bands, leading to a difference in the electron and hole velocities of 5% by energies of $125\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{meV}$ away from the Dirac point.
