The invention provides a silver nanometer column enhanced double-core
light intensity modulator based on
graphene. The
optical fiber is characterized by consisting of a double-
core optical fiber 1, input and output port couplers 2-1 and 2-2,
graphene layers 3-1 and 3-3 respectively deposited on the surfaces of left and right side polished optical fibers,
graphene layers 3-2 and 3-4 respectively deposited on the top
layers of left and right side aluminum
oxide films, transition material aluminum
oxide films 4-1 and 4-2 between graphene,
silver nanorods 5-1 and 5-2 on the top layers, and an
optical fiber coupling layer 3-1 and 3-3 respectively deposited on the surfaces of the left and right side polished optical fibers, the graphene layers 3-2 and 3-4 respectively deposited on the top layers of the left and right side aluminum
oxide films, the transition material aluminum oxide films 4-1 and 4-2 and the
silver nanorods 5-1 and 5-2 on the top layers. The
electrode materials 6-1 and 6-3 which are in contact with the lower-layer graphene on the two sides, the
electrode materials 6-2 and 6-4 which are in contact with the upper-layer graphene on the two sides, the two incident ports 7-1 and 7-2 and the two emergent ports 7-3 and 7-4 are placed end to end.
Graphene has the characteristic of adjustable carrier concentration, two sides of the graphene are externally connected with different voltages respectively, different
effective refractive index change conditions of double cores in the polished
optical fiber 8 can be realized, and
linear modulation of
light intensity is realized at a
tail port through
coupling. The dual-port
light intensity modulation device can be widely applied to the field of dual-port light
intensity modulation in optical
fiber communication.
