▎ 摘  要

Sufficient light-matter interactions are important for waveguide-coupled graphene optoelectronic devices. Subwavelength-diameter microfibers (MFs) with a strong evanescent field are attractive for graphene integration in fiber optics system, which can be realized by covering or wrapping a graphene sheet on a straight and thin MF. However, it is challenging to handle such a thin MF and graphene for sufficient length and strength of interaction. Using an MF-based lab-on-a-rod technique, we present a platform for ultralong light-graphene interaction and design graphene-integrated helical MF devices. Using this approach, we experimentally demonstrate polarization manipulation by wrapping an MF on a rod pretreated with a graphene sheet. The device can operate as not only a broadband polarizer but also a high-Q single-polarization resonator by tuning the geometry of MF coils. By specializing the rod surface and coil geometry, we believe the platform could contribute to advancing the research for more graphene-MF-integrated devices including modulators and photodetectors.
