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.
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.
