Two-dimensional (2D) materials exhibit fascinating and outstanding optoelectronic properties, laying the foundation for the development of novel optoelectronic devices. However, ultra-weak light absorption of 2D materials limits the performance of the optoelectronic devices. Here, a structure of MoS2/graphene/Au integrated onto the side-polished fiber (SPF) is proposed to achieve a high-performance fiber-integrated multifunction-in-one optoelectronic device. It is found that the device can absorb the transverse magnetic (TM) mode guided in the SPF and generate photocurrents as a polarization-sensitive photodetector, while the transverse electric (TE) mode passes with low loss through the device, making the device simultaneously a polarizer. In the device, the MoS2 film and the Au finger electrode can enhance the TM absorption by 1.75 times and 24.8 times, respectively, thus allowing to achieve high performance: a high photoresponsivity of 2.2 × 105 A/W at 1550 nm; the external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 1.76 × 107%; a high photocurrent polarization ratio of 0.686 and a polarization efficiency of 3.9 dB/mm at C-band. The integration of 2D materials on SPF paves the way to enhance the light–2D material interaction and achieve high performance multifunction-in-one fiber-integrated optoelectronic devices.
