Lewis, Adam, De Lucia, Francesco, Belardi, Walter, Huang, Chung-Che, Hayes, John, Poletti, Francesco, Hewak, Daniel and Sazio, Pier-John (2020) Composite material anti-resonant optical fiber electromodulator with 3.5 dB depth. Optics Letters. (doi:10.1364/OL.382921).
Abstract
The hollow regions of an anti-resonant fiber (ARF) offer an excellent template for the deposition of functional materials. When the optical properties of such materials can be modified via external stimuli, it offers a method to control the transmission properties of the fiber device. In this letter, we show that integration of a MoS2 film into the ARF voids allows the fiber to act as an electro-optical modulator. We record a maximum modulation depth of 3.5 dB at 744 nm, with an average insertion loss of 7.5 dB.
