For the future development of hybrid fiber devices, novel materials and advanced structures are two important components of photonic and optoelectronic integration. Research has uncovered many other layered and non-layered 2D materials with different properties233,286, and their van der Waals heterostructures further reveal unusual physics and properties287,288. Twisted two-dimensional materials with moiré patterns in graphene exhibit exotic optical and electronic properties that are interesting for extending photodetection and luminescence spectroscopy in optical fibers. Within the confines of photonic structures, the highly anisotropic linear and nonlinear optical responses of BP interacting with vector fields in fiber modes should yield extraordinary polarization fiber devices. On the other hand, the adaptation of the DSF and the external nanophotonic structure of the fiber end face combined with 2D materials will enable the ultimate all-fiber light-matter interaction. In addition to classical optical applications, subwavelength is an efficient interface for the coherent transfer of quantum states between atoms and photonic qubits because of its strong lateral confinement of the conducted field and long interaction lengths along the propagation. Fiber-optic integrated light sources based on two emerging multidimensional materials could provide alternatives and open up promising new avenues for quantum photons.
