Abstract
Graphene-microfiber with the advantage of graphene material and microfiber has been hailed as a wonderful optical waveguide. In this paper, its fabrication, optical properties and applications have been presented. Here, we present our recent progress in the graphene-microfiber waveguides from photonic devices, e.g., optical polarizers and optical modulators to mode-locking in fiber laser. With the novel nanotechnology emerging, graphene-microfiber could offer new possibilities for the future optic circuits, systems and networks.
