▎ 摘  要

Graphene has been widely used in photodetectors; however its photoresponsivity is limited due to the intrinsic low absorption of graphene. To enhance the graphene absorption, a waveguide structure with an extended interaction length and plasmonic resonance with light field enhancement are often employed. However, the operation bandwidth is narrowed when this happens. Here, a novel graphene-based all-fiber photodetector (AFPD) was demonstrated with ultrahigh responsivity over a full near-infrared band. The AFPD benefits from the gold-enhanced absorption when an interdigitated Au electrode is fabricated onto a Graphene-PMMA film covered over a side-polished fiber (SFP). Interestingly, the AFPD shows a photoresponsivity of >1 x 10(4) A/W and an external quantum efficiency of >4.6 x 10(6)% over a broadband region of 980-1620 nm. The proposed device provides a simple, low-cost, efficient, and robust way to detect optical fiber signals with intriguing capabilities in terms of distributed photodetection and on-line power monitoring, which is highly desirable for a fiber-optic communication system.
