Summary: | In this work, an all-fibre phase shifter using tapered fibre coated with molybdenum tungsten disulfide - reduced graphene oxide (MoWS2-rGO) is demonstrated. The large evanescent field of tapered fibre allows MoWS2-rGO to absorb injected light from a 1400-nm pump. It subsequently modifies the refractive index of both an MoWS2-rGO solution and tapered fibre because of the thermo-optic effect. A maximum wavelength shift of 2.489 nm is observed and the equivalent phase shift is 0.91 pi. The efficiency of the phase shifter is calculated at 0.0175 nm/mW. The proposed phase shifter is beneficial for a variety of applications, specifically for future optical beam-forming networks and all optical signal processing devices. |
