基于新型掺钪氮化铝的级联马赫-曾德尔结构(解)复用器

在新型掺钪(Sc)氮化铝(Al1-xScxN)集成光学平台上设计了插入损耗低、传输通道谱线平坦的O波段四通道波分(解)复用器,并提出了优化方法。所设计的器件结构基于级联马赫-曾德尔干涉仪(MZI)滤波器,结合弯曲波导结构的定向耦合器改善波长敏感度。针对粗波分复用(CWDM)应用的特性,文章使用粒子群算法(PSO)提升器件性能优化的效率,通过调整器件结构的设计参数对四路通道的传输谱线质量进行优化。针对0%,9%,23%的掺Sc浓度,设计的解复用器表现出宽达约15.6nm的1-dB带宽和小于0.1dB的插入损耗,传输谱线呈“盒状”响应,各通道间串扰均优于-30.6dB。     

高均匀性1×4多模干涉耦合器的研究与设计

针对多输出端口输出光功率的不均匀性问题,文章设计了一种基于绝缘体上硅(SOI)的1×4多模干涉(MMI)耦合器,提出了一种优化其均匀性的新方法。耦合器输入/输出端采用锥形波导,为提升MMI耦合器的均匀性,对输出端锥形波导采用不等宽设计,通过优化,四路输出端口均匀性高达0.007 4 dB,而总的插损仅有0.058 dB。依据该方法最终使得输出端波导的传输常数失配,避免了波导之间的串扰,实现了对MMI耦合器输出端口均匀性的提升。     

Design and Fabrication of Polarization-Independent Micro-Ring Resonators

Origin of polarization sensitivity of photonic wire waveguides （PWWs） is analysed and the effective refractive indices of two different polarization states are calculated by the three-dimensional full-vector beam propagation method. We find that PWWs are polarization insensitive if the distribution of its refractive index is uniform and the cross section is square. An MRR based on such a polarization-insensitive PWW is fabricated on an 8-inch silicon-on-insulator wafer using 248-nm deep ultraviolet lithography and reactive ion etching. The quasi-TE mode is resonant at 1542.25nm and 1558.90nm, and the quasi-TM mode is resonant at 1542.12nm and 1558.94nm. The corresponding polarization shift is 0. 13 nm at the shorter wavelength and 0.04 nm at the longer wavelength. Thus the fabricated device is polarization independent. The extinction ratio is larger than 10dB. The 3dB bandwidth is about 2.Snm and the Qvalue is about 620 at 1558.90nm.
