Abstract
An all-optical light–control–light functionality with the structure of a microfiber knot resonator (MKR) coated with tin disulfide ( ) nanosheets is experimentally demonstrated. The evanescent light in the MKR [with a resonance of and an extinction ratio (ER) of ] is exploited to enhance light–matter interaction by coating a two-dimensional material nanosheet onto it. Thanks to the enhanced light–matter interaction and the strong absorption property of , the transmitted optical power can be tuned quasi-linearly with an external violet pump light power, where a transmitted optical power variation rate with respect to the violet light power of is obtained. In addition, the MKR structure possessing multiple resonances enables a direct experimental demonstration of the relationship between resonance properties (such as and ER), and the obtained variation rate with respect to the violet light power. It verifies experimentally that a higher resonance and a larger ER can lead to a higher variation rate. In terms of the operating speed, this device runs as fast as . This kind of all-optical light–control–light functional structure may find applications in future all-optical circuitry, handheld fiber sensors, etc.
