采用高温退火技术去除熔石英元件表面由于CO2激光修复带来的残余应力,研究了退火环境对元件的表面污染,分析了不同退火温度(600~900 ℃)和保温时间(3~10 h)对于元件残余应力、透射波前、表面粗糙度和激光损伤阈值的影响。结果表明:在800 ℃以下,高温退火10 h可有效去除CO2激光修复带来的残余应力,对元件的透射波前和表面粗糙度无明显影响;石英保护盒能有效减少退火环境对元件表面产生的污染,但仍有X射线光电子能谱检测不到的表面污染物存在;在退火后采用质量分数为1%的HF刻蚀15 min,激光损伤阈值可恢复,同时元件透射波前和表面粗糙度并无明显的增加。 相似文献

利用Cu2+离子注入的方式在熔融石英和石英晶体上分别制备了平面光波导结构.通过棱镜耦合实验测试了两种光波导的导模特性,结果表明:在同样的注入条件下熔融石英上形成了增加型的光波导结构,而石英晶体上形成了位垒型的光波导结构.研究了退火温度对两种光波导导模折射率的影响,熔融石英光波导中导模的折射率随着退火温度的升高而降低,而石英晶体光波导中导模的折射率随着退火温度的升高先增加后降低.为了进一步分析离子注入两种材料形成光波导的微观机理,利用SRIM模拟了Cu2+离子注入两种材料的电子能量损失和核能量损失,并且模拟了两种光波导结构的折射率分布.模拟结果表明:熔融石英光波导的主要形成原因是离子注入表面的折射率大于其体材料的折射率,而石英晶体光波导的主要形成原因是离子射程末端的折射率小于其体材料的折射率.因此,在熔融石英光波导的形成中电子能量损失起主要作用,而在石英晶体光波导的形成中核能量损失起主要作用. 相似文献

A method of measuring birefringence in slab and ridge waveguides based on the coherent superposition of Rayleigh light scattering from TE and TM polarized modes is described and demonstrated in silica-on-silicon waveguides. A measurement accuracy of approximately 10(-6) has been achieved. This method is used to determine the evolution of waveguide birefringence with annealing temperature in phosphorous-doped glass waveguides. The measured birefringence increases rapidly with annealing temperatures up to 800 degrees C but remains unchanged for higher-temperature anneals. We interpret this threshold as the temperature above which glass can flow. 相似文献

Phase-shifted Bragg grating waveguides (PSBGWs) were formed in bulk fused silica glass by femtosecond laser direct writing to produce narrowband (22±3) pm filters at 1550 nm. Tunable π and other phase shifts generated narrow passbands in controlled positions of the Bragg stopband, while the accurate placement of multiple cascaded phase-shift regions yielded a rectangular-shaped bandpass filter. A waveguide birefringence of (7.5±0.3)×10(-5) is inferred from the polarization-induced spectral shifting of the PSBGW narrowband filters. 相似文献

Effects of annealing time on the structure,morphology, and stress of gold–chromium bilayer film 下载免费PDF全文
In this work, a 200-nm-thick gold film with a 10-nm-thick chromium layer used as an adhesive layer is fabricated on fused silica by the electron beam evaporation method. The effects of annealing time at 300℃ on the structure, morphology and stress of the film are studied. We find that chromium could diffuse to the surface of the film by formatting a solid solution with gold during annealing. Meanwhile, chromium is oxidized on the surface and diffused downward along the grain grooves in the gold film. The various operant mechanisms that change the residual stresses of gold films for different annealing times are discussed. 相似文献

Planar optical waveguides consisting of layers from different materials created at elevated temperatures usually exhibit substantial stresses. By controlling the layer thickness of polymeric top layer on planar waveguide structures, it is possible to use very thin layers for stress compensation, significantly reducing required deposition times. It is possible to reduce birefringence within planar device by controlling top polymer layer thickness with thermal expansion coefficient greater than silica or PMMA. 相似文献

We propose and demonstrate the use of the cladding stress-induced photoelastic effect to eliminate modal birefringence in silicon-on-insulator (SOI) ridge waveguides. Birefringence-free operation was achieved for waveguides with otherwise large birefringence by use of properly chosen thickness and stress of the upper cladding layer. With the stress levels typically found in cladding materials such as SiO2, the birefringence modification range can be as large as 10(-3). In arrayed waveguide grating demultiplexers that were fabricated in a SOI platform, we demonstrated the reduction of the birefringence from 1.2 x 10(-3) (without the upper cladding) to 4.5 x 10(-5) when a 0.8-microm oxide upper cladding with a stress of -320 MPa (compressive) was used. Because the index changes induced by the stress are orders of magnitude smaller than the waveguide core-cladding index contrast, the associated mode mismatch loss is negligible. 相似文献

The formation and annealing of defects in ion implanted silicon dioxide layers and in connection with them the refractive index change are of high interest for the production of electronic and integrated optical devices. Several studies have shown that the ion implantation in fused silica leads to a compaction of the material and in consequence to an increasing of the refractive index.1–6 On the other hand the defect formation in crystalline quartz is connected with a decreasing of the refractive index up to nearly the same value for ion implanted quartz and fused silica layers in the high dose region.1,5 On the base of this effects optical waveguides had been produced by ion implantation in both material.2,7–12 However, the nature of the mechanisms responsible for the defect formation and for the changes of the optical properties are not well understood. This paper reports on the ion dose and annealing temperature dependence of several defects in connection with the refractive index change. 相似文献

We demonstrate theoretically that a polymer layer, when used as cladding layer for silica-based planar optical waveguides on a silicon substrate, can substantially reduce birefringence. Multilayer planar optical waveguides usually exhibit stresses that are caused by thermal-induced strains that originate from the bonding of the layers, in addition to intrinsic strains. Effect of various intrinsic properties on thermal stress as a function of thickness of the guiding layer is studied. It is shown that it is possible to achieve the thermal stress free and, hence, the stress-induced birefringence free waveguide devices by proper waveguide designs. 相似文献

High temperature thermal behaviour modeling of large-scale fused silica optics for laser facility 下载免费PDF全文
High temperature annealing is often used for the stress control of optical materials.However,weight and viscosity at high temperature may destroy the surface morphology,especially for the large-scale,thin and heavy optics used for large laser facilities.It is necessary to understand the thermal behaviour and design proper support systems for large-scale optics at high temperature.In this work,three support systems for fused silica optics are designed and simulated with the finite element method.After the analysis of the thermal behaviours of different support systems,some advantages and disadvantages can be revealed.The results show that the support with the optical surface vertical is optimal because both pollution and deformation of optics could be well controlled during annealing at high temperature.Annealing process of the optics irradiated by CO2 laser is also simulated.It can be concluded that high temperature annealing can effectively reduce the residual stress.However,the effects of annealing on surface morphology of the optics are complex.Annealing creep is closely related to the residual stress and strain distribution.In the region with large residual stress,the creep is too large and probably increases the deformation gradient which may affect the laser beam propagation. 相似文献

Nanophotonic structures combining electronic confinement in nanocrystals with photon confinement in photonic structures are potential building blocks of future Si-based photonic devices. Here, we present a detailed optical investigation of active planar waveguides fabricated by Si+-ion implantation (400 keV, fluences from 3 to 6×1017 cm−2) of fused silica and thermally oxidized Si wafers. Si nanocrystals formed after annealing emit red-IR photoluminescence (PL) (under UV-blue excitation) and define a layer of high refractive index that guides part of the PL emission. Light from external sources can also be coupled into the waveguides (directly to the polished edge facet or from the surface by applying a quartz prism coupler). In both cases the optical emission from the sample facet exhibits narrow polarization-resolved transverse electric and transverse magnetic modes instead of the usual broad spectra characteristic of Si nanocrystals. This effect is explained by a theoretical model which identifies the microcavity-like peaks as leaking modes propagating below the waveguide/substrate boundary. We present also permanent changes induced by intense femtosecond laser exposure, which can be applied to write structures like gratings into the Si-nanocrystalline waveguides. Finally, we discuss the potential for application of these unconventional and relatively simple all-silicon nanostructures in future photonic devices. 相似文献

In the present study styrene acrylonitrile based polymeric waveguides have been optimized with the help of aging (variation of baking time keeping the temperature constant), annealing (variation of baking temperature keeping the time constant), concentration and thickness (physical). Propagation losses are lowest at an annealing temperature of 100°C and aging time of 8 h. The values of effective refractive index of the waveguides change inconsistently between 1.566 and 1.569 and between 1.5660 and 1.5667 for aging and annealing effect, respectively. However, by increasing the physical thickness of the film, the value of refractive index was decreased. By increasing the concentration of the solution, the refractive index of the waveguides was increased. The birefringence in the present observation is of the order of 10−4. Polarization selective properties were also observed in the present study for certain range of concentration. 相似文献

We present a study of the refractive index modifications spontaneously induced by infrared femtosecond filaments propagating
in the bulk of transparent solids. It was found that extended modified refractive index channels up to several mm in length
can be formed under loose focusing conditions in fused silica. The observed birefringence zone at the beginning of these channels
is attributed to the anisotropic stress induced via nonlinear losses in the high intensity region of the filament. 相似文献

Surface defects,stress evolution,and laser damage enhancement mechanism of fused silica under oxygen-enriched condition 下载免费PDF全文

Oxygen ions (O+) were implanted into fused silica at a fixed fluence of 1×1017 ions/cm2 with different ion energies ranging from 10 keV to 60 keV. The surface roughness, optical properties, mechanical properties and laser damage performance of fused silica were investigated to understand the effect of oxygen ion implantation on laser damage resistance of fused silica. The ion implantation accompanied with sputtering effect can passivate the sub-/surface defects to reduce the surface roughness and improve the surface quality slightly. The implanted oxygen ions can combine with the structural defects (ODCs and E' centers) to reduce the defect densities and compensate the loss of oxygen in fused silica surface under laser irradiation. Furthermore, oxygen ion implantation can reduce the Si-O-Si bond angle and densify the surface structure, thus introducing compressive stress in the surface to strengthen the surface of fused silica. Therefore, the laser induced damage threshold of fused silica increases and the damage growth coefficient decreases when ion energy up to 30 keV. However, at higher ion energy, the sputtering effect is weakened and implantation becomes dominant, which leads to the surface roughness increase slightly. In addition, excessive energy aggravates the breaking of Si-O bonds. At the same time, the density of structural defects increases and the compressive stress decreases. These will degrade the laser laser-damage resistance of fused silica. The results indicate that oxygen ion implantation with appropriate ion energy is helpful to improve the damage resistance capability of fused silica components. 相似文献

Sheet and plate glasses have refractive index inhomogeneity parallel with their surfaces. Refractive index maxima near the surfaces behave as optical waveguides. Light waves can be excited in the guides from outside and can be extracted non-destructively, using the technique popular in optical integrated circuits. Stress birefringence, caused by surface stress in thermally tempered glasses, gives different effective indices for two linearly polarized light beams which vibrate in directions vertical to and in parallel with the surfaces. Effective index observation by two polarized light beams allows non-destructive surface stress determination. 相似文献

Writing conditions for the fabrication of optical waveguides in bulk fused silica glass by use of 1 kHz focused femtosecond laser pulses at 800 nm were systematically determined for different focusing geometries. The results demonstrate that waveguides can be formed based on optical breakdown, filamentation (single or multiple), or a combination of both processes, when using pulse energies lower than the threshold of structural damage. The mechanisms of laser-induced index change are also discussed. PACS 42.65.Jx; 42.70.Ce; 42.79.Gn 相似文献

We describe several new phase-matching processes for four-photon mixing in polarization-preserving birefringent fibers. The frequency shifts and polarization conditions of the waves involved in this nonlinear interaction are specified for a single-mode fused silica birefringent fiber. Our calculations include the effect of dispersion in the birefringence of the fibers. 相似文献
