Array waveguide grating is made up of input and output waveguide, planar waveguide and Waveguide array, and is integrated in same substrate On.As shown in figure 3, the input of array waveguide grating, the port distribution of output waveguide are respectively R in diameteriAnd RoRowland circle On, and adjacent waveguide spacing is Δ xiWith Δ xo.The port of Waveguide array is respectively distributed in a more great circle (generally, half Footpath is 2 times of Rowland circle), spacing is respectively diAnd do.Waveguide array adjacent waveguide difference Δ L length, is imported by a certain incoming wave The light for the different wave length penetrated there will be different phase differences in Waveguide array outlet.The focal length of planar waveguide is respectively fiAnd fo(one As in the case of, fi=Ri, fo=Ro).If by the port distribution of output waveguide on the focal line of planar waveguide, different wave length Light will be in the relevant enhancing in different output waveguide porch.Rowland circle is defined as follows:Delineated on concave spherical mirror face A series of reflecting grating that equidistant parallel lines are constituted, it has light splitting ability and light gathering.If light source will be stitched and recessed Concave grating is placed on diameter and is equal on the circumference of concave grating radius of curvature, and the circle and grating midpoint G are tangent, then by concave surface light The spectrum of grid formation is in that the circle is referred to as Rowland circle on this circumference.
According to multiple-beam interference principle, the light demultiplexed using AWG should meet following grating equation:
nsdisinθi+ncΔL+nsdosinθo=m λ,
Section 1 is the optical path difference that i-th input waveguide is transferred to adjacent two Waveguide array on the left of equation, and Section 2 is light The optical path difference introduced when two neighboring Waveguide array is transmitted, Section 3 is that two neighboring Waveguide array is transferred to jth root waveguide Optical path difference.
N in formulasAnd ncThe respectively effective refractive index of planar waveguide and Waveguide array, m is diffraction progression, θiAnd θoCorrespondence The angle of input, output waveguide and central waveguide.
θi=i Δs xi/fi=xi/fi,
θo=j Δs xo/fo=xo/fo,
ΔxiWith Δ xoFor input and output waveguide spacing, fiAnd foRespectively two planar waveguide focal lengths;I and j are respectively Input and the waveguide sequence of output waveguide.diAnd doIt is Waveguide array spacing, Δ L is the length difference of adjacent array waveguide.
Typically enter θ corresponding with output waveguideiAnd θoAll very little, can make approximate:sinθii, sin θoo.Therefore, Grating equation can be approximately:
nsdiθi+ncΔL+nsdoθo=m λ,
For central wavelength lambda0, when it is by the incidence of center input waveguide and is exported from center output waveguide, i.e. θio=0 When, Huo Bucong centers input waveguide is incident, but meets diθi=-doθoWhen, Section 1 and Section 3 and it is on the left of equal sign in above formula 0, therefore central wavelength lambda0Meet:
ncΔ L=m λ0,
I.e.:Δ L=m λ0/nc=mc/ (ncν0),
In formula, λ0It is the centre wavelength in vacuum, ν0It is the centre frequency in vacuum.Therefore, when it is determined that after diffraction progression m, Δ L also determines that generally large m can produce higher resolution ratio.
The outgoing position of centre wavelength meets following formula:
I.e.
When the light of a certain wavelength is incident from i-th input waveguide, incidence angle θi=i Δs θiFor constant.
When the light of the wavelength is exported from j-th strip output waveguide, output angle θo=j Δs θo, θoIt is relevant with wavelength X, it is designated as θoo(λ)。
The effective refractive index n of planar waveguide and Waveguide arraysAnd ncIt is also the function of wavelength X, is designated as ns=ns(λ), nc= nc(λ)。
Grating equation is differentiated to wavelength X to be obtained:
Thus obtain:
It can turn to:
mfiAnd mfoTypically very big, last can ignore in bracket in formula, and above formula is approximately:
Above formula bracket mean terms is the group index of Waveguide array, then angle dispersion equation is:
Corresponding linear dispersion equation is easily pushed away:
Similarly, it can be derived from the angle dispersion for input waveguide and linear dispersion equation be respectively:
Said process by taking conveying type array waveguide grating as an example, reflection type array wave-guide grating principle with it is above-mentioned consistent, only It is that a planar waveguide is changed into input and output waveguide is public, Waveguide array end adds a reflection unit, adjacent lengths difference becomes For original half.
As can be seen here, the token state Δ λ of array waveguide grating wavelength resolution performance and input or the spacing of output waveguide It is directly proportional:
As can be seen that Δ λ and Δ x from above formulai/oProportional relation.Notice that reduce Δ λ (can also increase by increasing m Big Δ L) or increase fi/oTo complete, but these methods can all significantly increase the size of array waveguide grating, and its cost is also corresponding bright Aobvious to improve, this is unacceptable in many applications.
Beneficial effect:Because the decoupling distance of silica-based waveguides is far below silica-based waveguide, therefore can be by titanium dioxide silicon substrate The input of array waveguide grating or output waveguide replace with silica-based waveguides to reduce its channel spacing.Treat its be drifted apart from enough away from From rear, silicon substrate and silica-based waveguide coupler is recycled to convert back silica-based waveguide.This improvement maintains dioxy The original advantage of SiClx base array waveguide grating and the scope of application, take full advantage of its existing ripe Performance Optimization technique and production Process, and effectively increase its wavelength resolution performance or reduce its size.Input or output waveguide are replaced with into silicon The method of based waveguides is compatible with Conventional CMOS technology, with technical maturity, simple to operate, low cost and other advantages.Especially 1) have Effect improves the wavelength resolution performance of silica base array waveguide grating or reduces its size.2) input or output waveguide are replaced The technology for being changed to silica-based waveguides is simple, and technical maturity, cost is low, compatible with Conventional CMOS technology.3) titanium dioxide silicon substrate is still kept The original advantage of array waveguide grating and the scope of application, can still make full use of existing ripe silica base array waveguide grating Performance Optimization technique and manufacturing technique method.
