Abstract

Abstract: Optical fiber communication with its transmission band width, high anti-interference and signal attenuation of small advantages, has become the world's communication of the main transmission way, in the field of optical fiber communication, usually need to optical fiber transmission of the optical signal coupling to the outside of the photoelectric detector can realize the photoelectric conversion, so how to realize the real-time online optical signal detection has become the people focus on the problem. Using optical fiber as the integrated platform of photoelectric detector, it can not only be compatible with the current mainstream optical fiber system, but also realize the online transmission and real-time detection of optical signal. However, due to the limitation of optical fiber material (SiO2), optical fiber itself does not have photoelectric function. With the appearance of two-dimensional materials and the development of micro-nano processing technology, it is possible to integrate photodetectors on optical fibers. In this review, the preparation methods and research progress of optical fiber integrated two-dimensional materials photodetectors are reviewed, and the future development of optical fiber as an integrated platform for optoelectronic devices is prospected.
