Abstract
一种基于表面等离子体的波导光耦合器及其制备工艺。首先在半导体硅(Si)上制备氧化锌(ZnO)薄膜,然后在此薄膜上溅射银(Ag)颗粒,从而制备出光耦合器的波导层。通过优化波导结构和几何参数,产生表面等离子体增强效果,从而使光在波导中传播时不再受衍射极限的限制。
Description
技术领域
本专利涉及光学、集成光电子学、纳米材料、纳米加工、纳米测量、仪器科学等多学科交叉的前沿研究领域,具体涉及一种基于表面等离子体的波导光耦合器及其制备工艺。
背景技术
由于受到衍射效应的限制,光波导中传播的光波不能被限制在小于波长量级的横截面内,从而使得相邻光波导元件之间的最小间隙、光波导元件的最大弯曲角度和最大分布密度都受到了限制。
1968年,前苏联物理学家Veselago首次提出了负折射率材料的概念;2001年,Shelby等研制出了负折射率材料,负折射率材料的真实性逐步得到了确认,这为突破光学衍射极限提供了可能。但是把超材料应用到可见光波段,它们要比可见光的波长更小,如果用浸在介质中有限宽度的金属薄膜窄带制成等离子体激元波导,使光沿波导传播,这样金属薄膜就可起到超材料的作用。Bozhevolnyi等对纳米线等离子体光波导进行了研究;2009年,美国University of California,Berkeley的张翔研究组在《Nature》杂志上报道了他们最新研究成果--纳米线等离子体激光器,在减小激光器物理尺寸的同时,减小了光学模态尺寸,从而突破了衍射极限。
发明内容
研制具有表面等离子体增强效果的分光比为50∶50的光耦合器,该光耦合器的波导层由半导体薄膜和金属颗粒共同组成,通过优化波导层结构和几何尺寸,使得光耦合器产生表面等离子体效应。具体如下:
一种基于表面等离子体的光耦合器的波导层制备方法,包括如下步骤:首先在Si基底上通过射频磁控溅射工艺沉积ZnO薄膜,其后通过气相沉积工艺对薄膜在大气气氛下进行热处理,保温后,再通过直流磁控溅射工艺沉积Ag颗粒。
进一步,由溅射时间来控制Ag颗粒的形貌和厚度。
进一步,所述基底为Si基底。
进一步,ZnO薄膜的溅射功率为150W,转速为15r/min,溅射时间为7min,薄膜的厚度为40nm。
进一步,Ag颗粒溅射电流为0.3A,溅射时间为30s。
进一步,所述金属氧化物薄膜为ZnO薄膜。
一种基于表面等离子体的波导光耦合器,包括基底和波导层,而波导层由半导体薄膜及其上的金属颗粒组成。
本发明的有益效果是:
本发明在半导体Si上制备ZnO薄膜,在此薄膜上溅射Ag颗粒从而形成光耦合器的波导层。通过优化波导结构和几何参数,改善波导的光学性能,产生表面等离子体增强效果,从而使光在波导中传播能突破衍射极限。
附图说明
图1(a)为光耦合器的结构示意图。
图1(b)为光耦合器的光波导截面剖视图。
图2为光波导的加工工艺流程示意图。
具体实施方式
图1(a)为光耦合器的结构示意图,图1(b)为光耦合器的光波导剖视图,光波导结构为在基底1上沉积ZnO薄膜2后沉积Ag颗粒3形成。
波导层基底为20mm×20mm的半导体Si(100),将其分别用丙酮、乙醇和去离子水清洗后,用氮气吹干并烘30分钟;ZnO薄膜采用射频磁控溅射工艺制备,本底真空抽至2×10-5Pa,溅射功率为150W,转速为15r/min,溅射时间为7min,ZnO薄膜的厚度为40nm;Ag颗粒采用直流磁控溅射工艺制备,本底真空抽至2×10-5Pa,溅射电流为0.3A,溅射时间为30s。
图2为光波导的加工工艺流程。首先在20mm×20mm的半导体Si(100)基底上通过射频磁控溅射工艺沉积ZnO薄膜,其后通过气相沉积工艺对ZnO薄膜在大气气氛下进行500℃热处理,保温时间为2h,再通过直流磁控溅射工艺沉积Ag颗粒,由溅射时间来控制Ag颗粒的形貌和厚度。
1)光耦合器的波导层制备
在Si基底1上制备一层ZnO薄膜2,然后在此薄膜上溅射Ag颗粒3,通过研究不同厚度的ZnO薄膜以及Ag颗粒密度和尺度不同的情况下光耦合器的光学性能,从而确定波导层的最佳结构和厚度。
2)光耦合器的制备
为了实现50∶50的分光比,通过实验研究不同的耦合区长度和耦合区两路光波导之间的距离,最终确定光耦合器的结构。
