Description

The non-heat array wave guide grating wavelength division multiplexer
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of optical device, relate in particular to a kind of non-heat array wave guide grating wavelength division multiplexer.
Background technology
Along with the development of network communication, the data transfer rate of fiber optic network is more and more faster, and is also more and more higher to the capacity requirement of fiber optic network.In the present high speed fibre network system, wavelength-division multiplex technique is usually used in improving the capacity of fiber optic network, and this technology mainly uses arrayed waveguide grating multiplexer to realize.
The structure of existing a kind of arrayed waveguide grating multiplexer as shown in Figure 1, it has the planar substrate 10 that silicon materials are made, the upper surface of substrate 10 deposits ducting layer, and ducting layer comprises input waveguide 11, input planar waveguide 12, Waveguide array 16, output planar waveguide 14 and output optical waveguide 15.Usually, ducting layer is made by silica glass material, and Waveguide array 16 is made of many slab waveguides arranged side by side 13, and many slab waveguide 13 bendings are set up in parallel, have length difference between two adjacent slab waveguides 13, and the length of each root slab waveguide 13 is all inequality.
The output terminal of input waveguide 11 is connected to input planar waveguide 12, and input planar waveguide 12 is connected to the dull and stereotyped waveguide 14 of output by many slab waveguides 13, and the output terminal of output planar waveguide 14 is connected to many output optical waveguides 15.
When the multiplexing optical signal of transmission in the input waveguide 11 enters input during planar waveguide 12, this multiplexing optical signal no longer is tied in side direction, so launch because of diffraction.The multiplexing optical signal that the side direction diffraction launches is coupled into many slab waveguides 13 and propagates in many slab waveguides 13.Because there is length difference each other in many slab waveguides 13, there is certain phase difference in the multiplexing optical signal of propagating in each root slab waveguide 13 each other when arriving output planar waveguide 14.These phase differential cause the wavetilt in the output planar waveguide 14.Because the phase shift size is relevant with wavelength, the image position that pools of each wavelength light signal depends on input optical wavelength, the output optical waveguide 15 that is provided with at different image space places can decompose wavelength optical signals in the corresponding output optical waveguide 15, finishes the demultiplexing function.
Otherwise, change the input waveguide among Fig. 1 11 into output optical waveguide, change the output optical waveguide among Fig. 1 15 into input waveguide, the wavelength optical signals that has in the input waveguide can be converged in the same output waveguide, finish multiplexing function.Therefore, according to the difference of input radiation direction, existing wavelength division multiplexer can be realized the function of multiplexing or demultiplexing.
The centre wavelength of wavelength division multiplexer can be subjected to influence of temperature variation, and existing wavelength division multiplexer center wavelength variation is 0.011nm/ ℃ with the representative value of variation of temperature, and along with temperature variation is big more, center wavelength variation is big more, and this phenomenon is called temperature drift.Because temperature drift has very big influence to the job stability of wavelength division multiplexer, people improve to reduce temperature drift wavelength division multiplexer.
Referring to Fig. 2, existing a kind of non-heat array wave guide grating wavelength division multiplexer comprises substrate 20, deposit ducting layer on the substrate 20, ducting layer comprises input waveguide 23, input planar waveguide 24, Waveguide array 25, output planar waveguide 26 and output optical waveguide 27, wherein Waveguide array 25 comprises the many arranged side by side and crooked slab waveguides that are provided with, and has length difference between two adjacent slab waveguides.

It is opening parabolic shape up that the centre wavelength of non-heat array wave guide grating wavelength division multiplexer varies with temperature curve, shown in the dotted line a-b-c of Fig. 3.Here, centre wavelength temperature drift in the time of 20 ℃ that wavelength division multiplexer is set is zero, but temperature is when changing for-30 ℃ to 70 ℃, the maximum drift of centre wavelength reaches 0.04 nanometer, under the bigger environment of temperature variation, perhaps in logical wideer, the network system of frequency interval less than the 100G hertz of band, the performance of the wavelength division multiplexer of this kind temperature drift characteristic will be seriously influenced.
In addition, arrayed waveguide grating multiplexer is on the basis of substrate 20, passes through follow-up precision and expensive technological operation, produces ducting layer as flame hydrolysis deposition, photoetching, reactive ion beam etching (RIBE) etc. just to obtain, and cost of manufacture is higher.Above-mentioned wavelength division multiplexer directly is provided with sliding part 28 on ducting layer, it takies the bigger area of ducting layer, causes great waste, has also increased the production cost of wavelength division multiplexer.
Summary of the invention
