A Review: Graphene Photonic Crystal Fiber

Abstract

Next-generation optical fibers with diverse operating mechanisms, high functionality, and a porous structure that may be designed are known as photonic crystal fibers, or PCFs. In the meantime, two-dimensional graphene, possessing incredibly unique characteristics, is a perfect material for optoelectronic and optical uses. Recently, many studies have been published based on the integration of graphene with PCFs to create a new graphene PCF (Gr-PCF). There hybrid fibers show outstanding light-mater interaction over a broad spectrum range. This review starts with general introduction about photonic crystal fiber and analysis of optical properties. This is followed by a Plasmonic PCF then Graphene and physico-chemical properties of graphene nanomaterials. The review primarily covers the introduction of graphene and PCFs with many Applications including Optics Communications and different physical sensors.
