“…Interestingly, besides the optical devices mentioned above, the application of layered materials in optical sensors has also developed rapidly in recent years due to their abundant physical properties (e.g., humidity, temperature, mechanical, electrical, or optical absorption). [704][705][706][707] The emergence of layered materials provides new opportunities for sensor development. Up to now, various optical sensors using layered materials such as graphene, graphene oxide, reduced graphene oxide, and WS 2 , have been obtained, [708][709][710][711][712][713][714][715][716] as shown in Figure 26.…”

In recent years, 2D layered materials, including graphene, topological insulators, transition metal dichalcogenides, black phosphorus, MXenes, graphitic carbon nitride, and metal‐organic frameworks, have attracted considerable interest due to their potential applications in the fields of physics, chemistry, biology, and energy. Their rise in the field of nonlinear photonics began around 2009 and has become an important research direction. Here, the synthesis techniques, nonlinear optical properties, integration strategies, and device applications of layered materials are reviewed. In terms of nonlinear optical properties, the focus is on saturable absorption and Kerr nonlinearity. On this basis, their applications in various pulsed lasers, including fiber lasers, solid‐state lasers, waveguide lasers, and related nonlinear optical phenomenon, are summarized. In addition, novel optical devices using layered materials, such as optical modulators, optical polarizers, optical switchers, and even all‐optical device, are also involved. It is believed that the development of 2D layered materials in the field of photonics will continue to deepen, thus laying a good foundation for its practical application.

Recently, microfiber-optic sensors with high sensitivity, fast response times, and a compact size have become an area of interest that integrates fiber optics and nanotechnology. Distinct advantages of optical microfiber, such as large accessible evanescent fields and convenient configurability, provide attractive benefits for micro- and nano-scale optical sensing. Here, we review the basic principles of microfiber-optic sensors based on a broad range of microstructures, nanostructures, and functional materials. We also introduce the recent progress and state-of-the-art in this field and discuss the limitations and opportunities for future development.

“…Fiber sensors are applicable in the real world with high sensitivity by associating external information with optical parameters, including light intensity [1], wavelength [2], and phase [3]. In recent years, different combinations between fiber structures and two-dimensional materials, further broaden the capability of fiber sensors into biochemical applications [4][5][6][7][8][9]. Graphene, as a pioneer member of two-dimensional materials, has shown remarkable advances ranging from materials science [10], physics, chemistry [11,12], and electronics [13] to mechanics [14], due to its linear band structure and atomic thickness [15], as shown in Fig.…”

Single atomically thick graphene, with unique structural flexibility, surface sensitivity, and effective light-mater interaction, has shown exceptional advances in optoelectronics. It opens a door for diverse functionalized photonic devices, ranging from passive polarizers to active lasers and parametric oscillators. Among them, graphene-fiber biochemical sensors combine the merits of both graphene and fiber structures, demonstrating impressively high performances, such as single-molecule detectability and fast responsibility. These graphene-fiber biochemical sensors can offer tools in various applications, such as gas tracing, chemical analysis, and medical testing. In this paper, we review the emerging graphene-fiber biochemical sensors comprehensively, including the sensing principles, device fabrications, systematic implementations, and advanced applications. Finally, we summarize the state-of-the-art graphene-fiber biochemical sensors and put forward our outlooks on the development in the future.
