Here, we theoretically investigate the nonreciprocal response of an electrically biased graphene-coated dielectric fiber. By electrically biasing the graphene coating along the fiber axis, the dynamic conductivity of graphene exhibits a nonsymmetric response with respect to the longitudinal component of guided-mode wave vectors. Consequently, the guided waves propagating in two opposite directions may encounter distinct propagation features. In this work, the electromagnetic properties, such as modal dispersion and some field distributions are presented, and the strength of nonreciprocity is discussed for different parameters of graphene, such as its chemical potential and material loss. Furthermore, the influence of the radius of the fiber on the nonreciprocal response is investigated. We envision that such nonreciprocal optical fibers may find various potential applications in THz, microwave, and optical technologies.
