A broadband all-optical tunable fiber microcavity filter, based on graphene/epoxy composite, is presented. The microcavity shows excellent all-optical controlability and has a strong optical Kerr effect and photothermal effect induced by the optical pump. The experimental results demonstrate a wavelength tuning range of 25.54 nm and a tuning step of -832 pm/mW.
A graphene/epoxy composite based broadband all-optical tunable fiber microcavity filter is presented. The graphene/epoxy composite based microcavity shows the excellent all-optical controlability. Since the light acts on the graphene/epoxy composite directly, the microcavity has stronger optical Kerr effect and photothermal effect induced by the optical pump. Experimental results show that its wavelength tuning range and tuning step reach 25.54 nm and -832 pm/mW, respectively. It is expected to be applied in the fields of tunable optical filters, optical communication, optical sensors, fiber lasers, and spectrum scanning.
