Abstract

Nonlinear enhancement is experimentally demonstrated by depositing graphene scraps from graphene ethanol dispersion onto a tapered microfiber. The enhancement of the nonlinearity is verified by observing the four-wave mixing (FWM) effect in the homemade graphene-deposited microfiber (GDMF). When the incident pump power is 24.2dBm, the FWM conversion efficiency in the GDMF reaches -57.1 dB. Compared to the bare microfiber with the same dimensions, the conversion efficiency is improved by more than 3dB. Our fabricated GDMF provides a simple way to enhance the fiber nonlinearity, and it will be suitable for nonlinear applications such as wavelength conversion and other optical signal processing operations.
