Abstract

MXene, a promising class of emerging material, exhibits unique optical properties. By depositing MXene on side polished fiber (SPF), a simple polarization modulator is realized. The energy supplied by 980 nm laser diode is absorbed by MXene due to its excellent photothermal conversion which subsequently raises the temperature of MXene coated SPF. As MXene also reveals thermo-optic characteristics, its refractive index undergoes changes in response to temperature. When incident light is injected into the modulator, its state of polarization (SOP) rotates with pump power. Total azimuth rotation is estimated at 75.24° by increasing the pump power while its efficiency is confirmed at 0.7599°/mW, within the pump power range of 0 mW to 88.6 mW. This work demonstrates the photothermal and thermo-optic capabilities of MXene, highlighting its potential which can contribute to industrial growth and innovation of photonics engineering industries.

通过 MXene 驱动的全光调制器操纵光的偏振态

MXene是一种很有前途的新兴材料，具有独特的光学特性。通过在侧面抛光光纤（SPF）上沉积MXene，实现了一种简单的偏振调制器。由于MXene具有良好的光热转换特性，980 nm激光二极管提供的能量被MXene吸收，从而提高了MXene涂层SPF的温度。由于MXene还具有热光学特性，其折射率随温度的变化而变化。当入射光注入调制器后，调制器的偏振态（SOP）随泵浦功率的变化而变化。在泵功率为0 ~ 88.6 mW的范围内，通过增加泵功率，估计总方位旋转为75.24°，效率为0.7599°/mW。这项工作展示了MXene的光热和热光学性能，突出了它在促进工业增长和光电子工程行业创新方面的潜力。

期刊介绍： Innovations in optical fiber technology are revolutionizing world communications. Newly developed fiber amplifiers allow for direct transmission of high-speed signals over transcontinental distances without the need for electronic regeneration. Optical fibers find new applications in data processing. The impact of fiber materials, devices, and systems on communications in the coming decades will create an abundance of primary literature and the need for up-to-date reviews. Optical Fiber Technology: Materials, Devices, and Systems is a new cutting-edge journal designed to fill a need in this rapidly evolving field for speedy publication of regular length papers. Both theoretical and experimental papers on fiber materials, devices, and system performance evaluation and measurements are eligible, with emphasis on practical applications.
