Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
In order to make the aforementioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention comprehensible, embodiments accompanied with figures are described in further detail below.
Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic top view of a wide surface grating according to an embodiment of the present invention; referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional structural diagram of a wide-volume surface grating according to an embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of a top view structure of a wide-volume surface grating with exemplary parameters according to an embodiment of the present invention.
The wide body surface grating includes:
one or two waveguide arrays 10 having a plurality of input waveguides, and first and second grating portions 11 and 12 alternately arranged in sequence along the input waveguide direction;
in a direction perpendicular to a plane in which the wide-body surface grating is located, the thickness of the first grating portion 11 is smaller than that of the second grating portion 12;
referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a schematic top view of another broad surface grating according to an embodiment of the present invention; when the number of the waveguide arrays 10 is two, the two waveguide arrays 10 are located on two opposite sides.
In the embodiment, the wide-body surface grating can shorten the distance between radiation points excited by the input waveguide with intervals, relax the requirement on the close distance between the waveguides, avoid the interference of a plurality of gratings, has simple process, high tolerance and high lighting efficiency, can control the emergent direction of the light wave signal while eliminating crosstalk, and can generate different radiation patterns by changing the period of the wide-body surface grating.
Based on the wide surface grating shown in fig. 4, the width of the wide surface grating is not changed and is bilaterally symmetric in the present application, and bidirectional transmission and reception can be performed, that is, signals in the original unidirectional transmission direction and the original direction can be transmitted simultaneously, or signals in the original unidirectional reception direction and the original direction can be received simultaneously.
The wide surface grating shown in fig. 4 of the present application can improve the utilization efficiency of the grating; the pitch angles which are symmetrical at two sides can be received at the same time, and the number of gratings required by the grating array is reduced; and secondly, the processing tolerance is small, as shown in the attached drawing-fig. 16 of the application specification, when the transmitting/receiving pitch angle is smaller than zero, the slope is larger, which means that the processing tolerance of the corresponding grating is smaller, and the grating structure with larger tolerance at the symmetrical pitch angle can be used for transmitting/receiving by using the bidirectional transmitting/receiving structure.
Further, a constant grating width facilitates mode field distribution, and a stronger confinement of the mode field by the grating walls relative to other structures (e.g., trapezoidal structures) facilitates control of the far field pattern, such as the strip far field radiation pattern shown in fig. 12.
Optionally, each of the input waveguides has the same width, and the input waveguides having the same width are convenient for phase control and only need to perform linear phase adjustment to perform scanning; and the input waveguides of uniform width are more process tolerant during processing.
Alternatively, in another embodiment of the present invention, as shown in figures 3 and 2,
in the input waveguide direction, the length of the wide body surface grating is 40 um.
In the direction perpendicular with input waveguide, the width of wide body surface grating is 10 um.
In the input waveguide direction, a total length of adjacent first and second grating portions is 0.8 um.
In this embodiment, the length of the wide-body surface grating in the direction of the input waveguide may be understood as the total period of the wide-body surface grating, and the adjacent first grating portion 11 and the second grating portion 12 constitute one period; illustratively, the period length of the wide-body surface grating in this embodiment is 0.8 um.
Alternatively, in another embodiment of the present invention, as shown in figures 3 and 2,
the thickness of the second grating portion in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the wide-body surface grating is 220 nm.
In the direction perpendicular to the plane of the wide surface grating, the thickness difference between the second grating part and the first grating part is 70 nm.
The length of the second grating portion in the input waveguide direction is 0.4 um.
In this embodiment, by properly setting the length of the second grating portion 12 in the direction of the input waveguide, the duty ratio of the second grating portion 12 in each period can be adjusted to adjust the optical characteristics of the wide-body surface grating.
Optionally, in another embodiment of the present invention, the wide-body surface grating has a plurality of periods;
each cycle is the same.
That is, each individual wide-volume surface grating, when having multiple periods, each period is the same, illustratively, each period is 0.8um in length.
Or, each cycle may be different.
That is, each individual wide-body surface grating has a plurality of periods, each period being different from each other, and illustratively, one period length is 0.8um, and the other period length may be 0.4um or 1.8um, etc.
Or, the periods of part of the periods are the same, and the periods of the rest of the periods are different.
That is to say, in the embodiment of the present invention, there is no strict limitation on the period of the wide surface grating, and the period can be flexibly set according to the actual situation to realize different optical functions.
Optionally, based on all the above embodiments of the present invention, in another embodiment of the present invention, there is further provided a wide-body surface grating antenna system, referring to fig. 5, and fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of a principle of scanning by combining wide-body surface gratings according to an embodiment of the present invention.
The wide body surface grating antenna system includes:
the wide body surface grating (Tx) described in the above embodiments; the wide body surface grating includes: the grating array comprises a waveguide array with a plurality of input waveguides, and a first grating part and a second grating part which are sequentially and alternately arranged along the direction of the input waveguides; in a direction perpendicular to a plane in which the wide-body surface grating is located, a thickness of the first grating portion is smaller than a thickness of the second grating portion.
In which, some or all of the input waveguides are provided with phase shifters, and fig. 5 illustrates an example in which some of the input waveguides are provided with phase shifters.
Specifically, incident laser light is input to the wide body surface grating (Tx) through the waveguide array to be emitted;
the phase shifter is used for changing the horizontal rotation angle of the wide body surface grating (Tx) emission for scanning.
In this embodiment, the wide body surface grating antenna system is composed of a plurality of input waveguides with phase shifters and a wide body surface grating (Tx). Laser is input into the wide surface grating (Tx) through the input waveguide for emission, the phase of an optical field in the input waveguide is linearly distributed by controlling the phase shifter, and the outgoing horizontal rotation angle phi of the wide surface grating (Tx) can be changed by controlling the coefficient of the linear distribution, so that scanning is performed.
Because different periods of the wide surface grating (Tx) correspond to different emergent pitch angles, the radiation pattern can be controlled by manufacturing the wide surface grating (Tx) with different periods or period changes.
Alternatively, based on the above-described embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 3,
wherein the width of one of the input waveguides is 0.45um in a direction perpendicular to the input waveguides.
Optionally, in a direction perpendicular to the input waveguides, a distance between two adjacent input waveguides is 0.55um, that is, a sum of the distance between two adjacent input waveguides and a width of one output waveguide is 1 um.
Referring to fig. 6, fig. 6 is a diagram illustrating a radiated near field generated by a second waveguide separately input from the bottom to the top in fig. 1, the second waveguide being perpendicular to the direction of the input waveguide according to an embodiment of the present invention; referring to fig. 7, fig. 7 is a diagram illustrating a radiated near field generated by a third waveguide in fig. 1 separately input from bottom to top in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the input waveguide according to an embodiment of the present invention.
As can be seen in connection with fig. 6 and 7, the uniformity of the radiation patterns produced by the different input waveguide inputs and the mutual interference in the broad-body surface grating result in the cancellation of the grating lobes.
Referring to fig. 8, fig. 8 is a schematic diagram of far-field radiation after all input waveguides input the same-phase and same-amplitude optical fields according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to fig. 9, fig. 9 is a far field diagram after phase rotation by an angle phi through a modulation waveguide array according to an embodiment of the present invention.
As can be seen from fig. 8 and 9, the radiation pattern can be controlled to rotate by changing the linear phase distribution coefficient of the waveguide array; and no grating lobe is generated even if the input waveguide pitch is larger than a half wavelength.
Alternatively, in the above embodiments, it is mentioned that when each individual wide-body surface grating has a plurality of periods, the periods are different from each other, for example, one period length is 0.8um, and another period length may be 0.4um or 1.8um, etc.
Referring to fig. 10, fig. 10 is a graph illustrating the variation of the period of a possible period-varying wide-body surface grating according to the embodiment of the present invention; referring to fig. 11, fig. 11 is a schematic diagram illustrating a possible duty cycle variation curve of the second grating portion according to an embodiment of the present invention; referring to fig. 12, fig. 12 is a schematic diagram of far-field radiation after all input waveguides input the same-phase and same-amplitude optical fields according to another embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in fig. 10, the period varies with the number of periods according to a first preset rule; as shown in fig. 11, the duty ratio of the second grating part is changed according to a second preset rule.
As can be seen from fig. 10, 11 and 12, the period and/or duty ratio of the grating on the wide-body surface changes with the propagation direction of the optical field, so that a far-field radiation pattern with a stripe distribution can be realized.
Referring to fig. 13, fig. 13 is a far field diagram after phase rotation by an angle phi through a modulation waveguide array according to an embodiment of the present invention.
As can be seen from fig. 13, on the basis of realizing the strip-shaped distributed far-field radiation pattern, the rotation of the strip-shaped radiation pattern can be controlled by changing the linear phase distribution coefficient of the waveguide array.
Optionally, based on the foregoing embodiment of the present invention, in another embodiment of the present invention, a laser radar three-dimensional scanning system is further provided, referring to fig. 14, and fig. 14 is a schematic configuration diagram of the laser radar three-dimensional scanning system provided in the embodiment of the present invention; referring to fig. 15, fig. 15 is a schematic diagram of another arrangement of a lidar three-dimensional scanning system according to an embodiment of the present invention.
The laser radar three-dimensional scanning system comprises: a plurality of the wide body surface grating antenna systems of the above embodiments;
wherein each period of the wide body surface grating (Tx) in each of the wide body surface grating antenna systems is the same;
and, the period of the wide body surface grating (Tx) in the different wide body surface grating antenna systems is different.
In this embodiment, each period of the wide-body-surface grating (Tx) in each of the wide-body-surface-grating antenna systems is the same, that is, each period in each individual wide-body-surface grating (Tx) is the same, for example, a period of 0.8 um.
However, the periods of the wide-body surface gratings (Tx) in the wide-body surface grating antenna systems are different, that is, each period of the wide-body surface grating (Tx) in one of the wide-body surface grating antenna systems is 0.8um, and each period of the wide-body surface grating (Tx) in the other one of the wide-body surface grating antenna systems is 0.4um or 1.6um, etc.
As shown in fig. 14, a plurality of the wide surface grating antenna systems are arranged in sequence in the horizontal direction.
As shown in fig. 15, a plurality of the wide surface grating antenna systems are arranged in a two-dimensional array.
It should be noted that fig. 14 and 15 are only different in arrangement, and fig. 15 is more compact in arrangement compared with the arrangement of fig. 14.
Referring to fig. 16, fig. 16 is a graph showing variation of the exit pitch angle θ with the period of the wide-body surface grating according to the embodiment of the present invention.
Because different periods of the wide surface gratings (Tx) correspond to different pitch angles theta, when the wide surface grating scanning device is used, one of the wide surface gratings (Tx) is opened gradually, the phase shifter is controlled to scan a horizontal angle phi, then the wide surface grating (Tx) is closed, and the next wide surface grating (Tx) is opened, so that the pitch angle theta is changed, and the scanning of the whole detection area is realized.
As can be seen from the above description, the wide-body surface grating, the antenna system thereof, and the laser radar three-dimensional scanning system provided by the embodiment of the present invention increase the input waveguide distance without generating grating lobes, and eliminate the problem of input waveguide crosstalk; and the single wide surface grating replaces the traditional grating array, thus eliminating the error caused by the difference between the grating and the grating; and different radiation patterns can be realized by controlling the period of the wide-body surface grating.
