Description
技术领域technical field
本发明涉及光学滤波器领域,具体涉及一种超大自由光谱范围的集成光学滤波器结构。The invention relates to the field of optical filters, in particular to an integrated optical filter structure with a super large free spectral range.
背景技术Background technique
在当今通讯网络和计算系统中,对高速率数据日益增长的需求推动了低成本、高速光学链路的发展。光互连中,各种先进的复用技术,如波分复用、偏振复用和模式复用已经相继被用来提高通光信容量。其中,在共享物理通道中使用不同波长的波分复用是近几十年来光互连中最流行的技术之一。这种基于波分复用技术的光子链路需要具有大量波长通道。因此,在基于波分复用的光互连中使用的滤波器波长的操作,多个滤波器级联实现多个波长通道的复用。自由光谱范围越大意味着可以支持越多独立的波长通道且通道之间互不干扰。利用光路可逆原理,大自由光谱范围的滤波器可以实现输入光谱进行下载,从而可以实现宽谱信号分析。In today's communication networks and computing systems, the growing demand for high-rate data drives the development of low-cost, high-speed optical links. In optical interconnection, various advanced multiplexing technologies, such as wavelength division multiplexing, polarization multiplexing and mode multiplexing, have been successively used to improve the optical communication capacity. Among them, wavelength division multiplexing using different wavelengths in a shared physical channel is one of the most popular technologies in optical interconnection in recent decades. Such a photonic link based on wavelength division multiplexing technology needs to have a large number of wavelength channels. Therefore, in the operation of filter wavelengths used in wavelength division multiplexing-based optical interconnects, multiple filters are cascaded to achieve multiplexing of multiple wavelength channels. A larger free spectral range means that more independent wavelength channels can be supported without interfering with each other. Using the principle of reversibility of the optical path, the filter with a large free spectral range can realize the download of the input spectrum, so that the wide-spectrum signal analysis can be realized.
另外一方面,近年以来,在物联网场景需求推动下,光传感器在医疗、油气、电力、军工、城建、食品安全和地质勘探等领域广泛应用,因而催生了数亿规模的市场。为了实现多位点多参量的传感,利用波分复用技术的分布式传感是构建传感网络的关键技术之一。分布式光探测技术,可以同时获得被测场的空间分布和随时间的变化信息。采用大自由光谱范围的滤波器可以有效增加单根传感链路上彼此独立传感器的数量,实现更多位点和参量的同时传感。On the other hand, in recent years, driven by the needs of IoT scenarios, optical sensors have been widely used in medical, oil and gas, electric power, military industry, urban construction, food safety and geological exploration, which has spawned a market of hundreds of millions. In order to realize multi-site and multi-parameter sensing, distributed sensing using wavelength division multiplexing technology is one of the key technologies for building a sensor network. Distributed light detection technology can simultaneously obtain the spatial distribution and time-dependent information of the measured field. Using a filter with a large free spectral range can effectively increase the number of independent sensors on a single sensing link, enabling simultaneous sensing of more sites and parameters.
目前已有多种实现大自由光谱范围滤波器的方案。微环谐振器通过选取超小半径可以实现较大的自由光谱范围,同时有紧凑的体积,但是自由光谱范围难以突破100nm,限制了其应用。为了在微环谐振器中实现扩展的自由光谱范围,人们使用了游标效应或两点耦合的多串耦合微环,但是这种方案敏感于实际器件尺寸变化,工艺容差小,通常需要热调进行微环谐振峰对准。在单环上级联反向耦合器也能实现宽的自由光谱范围,但这种方案中为了获取较窄的禁带宽度,要求反向耦合器中布拉格波导光栅刻槽宽度极小,工艺难度大,不利于工业生产,而且这种方案仍需要布拉格波导光栅的主峰和微环谐振峰对准,工艺容差小。理想的集成滤波器应具有大的自由光谱范围、高的抑制比和大的工艺容差,以避免精确的波长对准。At present, there are many schemes to realize the large free spectral range filter. Microring resonators can achieve a large free spectral range by selecting an ultra-small radius, and at the same time have a compact volume, but the free spectral range is difficult to exceed 100 nm, which limits its application. To achieve extended free spectral range in microring resonators, Vernier effect or two-point coupled multi-string coupled microrings have been used, but this scheme is sensitive to actual device size changes, has small process tolerances, and usually requires thermal tuning Perform microring resonance peak alignment. Cascading inverse couplers on a single ring can also achieve a wide free spectral range, but in order to obtain a narrow forbidden band width in this scheme, the groove width of the Bragg waveguide grating in the inverse coupler is required to be extremely small, and the process is difficult. , which is not conducive to industrial production, and this solution still requires alignment of the main peak of the Bragg waveguide grating with the resonant peak of the microring, and the process tolerance is small. An ideal integrated filter should have a large free spectral range, a high rejection ratio, and a large process tolerance to avoid precise wavelength alignment.

下面给出本发明的滤波器结构的多个实施例。Several embodiments of the filter structure of the present invention are given below.
实施例一Example 1
基于220nm绝缘层上硅平台制备集成的超大自由光谱范围的滤波器。入射波导101、出射波导102、弯曲波导103和单模波导108宽度为500nm,波导为脊波导,刻蚀深度(波导高度)为150nm,弯曲波导的弯曲半径为20μm。左侧布拉格波导光栅104和右侧布拉格波导光栅105由宽波导和窄波导周期性交替而成,宽波导宽度为500nm,窄波导为300nm,周期数为150,周期为317nm。拉锥渐变型波导光栅106由宽波导和窄波导周期性交替而成,宽波导宽度为500nm,宽度不变,窄波导宽度从300nm线性变宽至500nm,周期数为5,周期为317nm;反向拉锥渐变型波导光栅107由宽波导和窄波导周期性交替而成,宽波导宽度为500nm,宽度不变,窄波导宽度从500nm线性变为300nm,周期数为5,周期为317nm;单模波导108长度为零,弯曲波导103和单模波导108的间隙为250nm。An integrated ultra-large free spectral range filter was fabricated based on a 220 nm silicon-on-insulator platform. The width of the
在本实施例中,滤波器在使用时,扫频连续激光注入到滤波器的入射波导101中,激光通过边耦合波导结构耦合到F-P谐振腔中。谐振波长1521nm一直在谐振腔中振荡无法从谐振腔耦合到出射波导102,非谐振波长(除1521nm外)从F-P谐振腔耦合到出射波导102中,以实现对1521nm波长激光的滤除。In this embodiment, when the filter is in use, the swept-frequency continuous laser is injected into the
图3给出了实施例一的滤波器的光谱传输图,从图中可以看出,在220nm的超大波长范围内,只能看到在1521nm有一个深的凹陷,而在非共振波长处平坦的响应。图4展示了在工作波长为1400、1521、1522和1620nm时整个结构的电场分布。对于禁带外波长为1400和1620nm的光,该滤波器被认为是传统的双波导耦合器。因此,光在F-P腔中不能增强,而是耦合到右侧的布拉格光栅中。对于阻带内1522nm而非谐振处的波长,光被耦合到腔内,然后被布拉格光栅反射,最后传输到直通端口。对于1521nm的谐振波长,光耦合进入腔内,增强腔内的功率,直到耦合功率、外耦合功率和损耗功率之间实现动态平衡。因此,光就像被困在腔内,几乎没有功率耦合到直通端口。Figure 3 shows the spectral transmission diagram of the filter of Example 1. It can be seen from the figure that in the ultra-large wavelength range of 220 nm, only a deep depression can be seen at 1521 nm, while it is flat at the non-resonant wavelength. the response to. Figure 4 shows the electric field distribution of the whole structure at operating wavelengths of 1400, 1521, 1522 and 1620 nm. For light with out-of-band wavelengths of 1400 and 1620 nm, the filter is considered a conventional dual-waveguide coupler. Therefore, the light cannot be enhanced in the F-P cavity, but is coupled into the Bragg grating on the right. For wavelengths within the stopband of 1522 nm but not at resonance, light is coupled into the cavity, then reflected by the Bragg grating, and finally transmitted to the thru port. For the resonant wavelength of 1521 nm, light is coupled into the cavity, enhancing the power in the cavity until a dynamic balance is achieved between coupled power, outcoupling power, and loss power. Therefore, the light appears to be trapped inside the cavity, with little power coupled into the thru port.
