A graphene-coated microfiber (GCM)-based hybrid waveguide structure formed by wrapping monolayer graphene
around a microfiber with length of several millimeters is pumped by a nanosecond laser at ∼1550 nm, and multi-
order cascaded four-wave-mixing (FWM) is effectively generated. By optimizing both the detuning and the pump
power, such a GCM device with high nonlinearity and compact size would have potential for a wide range of FWM
applications, such as phase-sensitive amplification, multi-wavelength filter, all-optical regeneration and fre-
quency conversion, and so on. © 2015 Chinese Laser Press

1. INTRODUCTION
Graphene has attracted worldwide interest for its exceptional
electronic and photonic properties [
1,2]; it has a unique
band-gap structure, its Fermi level of graphene is tunable,
its photon absorption is saturable, and its refractive index
is adjustable [
3–5]. Accordingly, a variety of graphene-based
photonic devices have been reported, e.g., optical modulators
[
6,7], optoelectronic converters [8–10], ultrafast photonic
lasers [
11,12], highly sensitive sensors [13], and so on. More-
over, as graphene is so thin, it could be convenient to combine
it with other dielectric waveguides, i.e., silicon/polymer wave-
guides and fibers [
7,14,15].
Four-wave-mixing (FWM), especially cascaded FWM, is
widely applied in modern optics, such as multi-wavelength
laser, optical parametric amplification, dispersion compensa-
tion, super continuum, and comb filter [
16–19]. As graphene
has the unique merit of possessing ultrahigh nonlinearity
especially 3-order nonlinearity over a broad spectral range
[
20–23], it is naturally adaptable for FWM [24,25]. Recently,
by depositing graphene on silicon cavity, covering graphene
on optical fiber ferule, and attaching graphene on microfiber,
the generation of FWM was observed [
26–30]. However, to
obtain graphene-induced effective FWM is still challenging,
because the interaction between graphene and transmitting
light is limited, the transmission loss is significant, and the
dispersion is hard to optimize.
In this paper, by using a graphene-coated microfiber
(GCM), we demonstrated effective multi-order cascaded FWM
based on a graphene/microfiber hybrid waveguide, for the
first time (to our knowledge). By utilizing a high-power pulsed
laser as pump at ∼1.55 μm and a tunable CW signal light, we
experimentally achieved tunable cascaded FWM with a large
spectral range over 15 nm. In the FWM, the detuning was
tuned from 0 to 5 nm, with a conversion efficiency up to
−20 dB. Moreover, by investigating the response of the
GCM in time-domain, FWM-induced multi-wavelength beating
is verified. Such a GCM structure would be easily integrated
into fiber-based devices and systems for generation of FWM.
2. STRUCTURE AND FABRICATION
OF THE GCM
The schematic diagram of this hybrid waveguide structure is
shown in Fig.
1(a). First, we use a microfiber with the diam-
eter of sub-wavelength. Then, a monolayer of p-doped gra-
phene is coated around the microfiber by wet-transfer
method, to form the GCM. The principle of FWM induced
in the GCM is shown in Fig.
1(b) [31]. When a pump light with
frequency of ω
P
and a signal light with wavelength of ω
S
are
launched into the GCM simultaneously, due to the photon ab-
sorptions and releases, electronic transitions in graphene
would occur, hence generate a new frequency ω

harmonics, with frequency of 3ω

, and
so on.
In the experiment, the silica microfiber is fabricated from a
standard single-mode fiber (SMF; 28e, Corning) by chemical-
etching method. A section of SMF was soaked in hydrofluoric
acid for ∼43 min , after that washed by DI water and ethanol
alternately. Then it turned into a microoptical fiber with
