Background technique
Laser can be divided into three classes by cavity body structure: the first kind is light random to swash what nano particle interface accidental resonance was formed Light;Second class is that light forms the F- that resonance generates using two end faces of micro-nano rice noodles as hysteroscope in one-dimensional micro nano structure P laser.The former scattering loss is very big, is without a fixed pattern;The end face loss of the latter is very big, is also difficult to obtain high-quality (Q), low Threshold value laser.In consideration of it, the Echo Wall for utilizing its total internal reflection to be formed using microcavitys such as the biggish micron bar of scale or micron dish Mould (WGM) laser then provides the approach of an acquisition high-quality laser for people.
But the gallium nitride single crystal WGM laser of circular hanging micro- dish or hexagon as optic communication device or integrates Outstanding not enough for optical device, because it does not have single laser direction output, and without passing through mode locking, output is Multi-mode laser and quality factor is not high enough, is unfavorable for and other opto-electronic devices are integrated.
Therefore, how to optimize WGM micro-cavity structure, realize the high Q Low threshold nitride mode locking WGM laser of unidirectional transmitting It is the problem to be solved in the present invention.
Summary of the invention
Technical problem: the present invention provides a kind of with high optical gain and extremely low loss, is conducive to and photoelectron The nitride mode locking Echo Wall micro laser of the integrated one direction transmitting of device, while providing a kind of good manufacturability, processing essence Spend the method for the high nitride mode locking Echo Wall micro laser for preparing above-mentioned one direction transmitting.
Technical solution: the nitride mode locking Echo Wall micro laser of one direction transmitting of the invention, with silica-based nitride crystalline substance Piece is carrier, including silicon base, the silicon column being arranged in the silicon base, the hanging asymmetric annular supported by the silicon column Film micro-cavity structure, the asymmetric annular membrane micro-cavity structure are made of nitride, and ontology, setting including annular are described The microcavity of body interior, the protrusion cone angle that ontology outer circumferential is arranged in are provided on the ontology and are connected to microcavity with outside Notch, the prominent cone angle surrounds by camber line on ontology tangent to periphery, ontology circumference and this external camber line, and described is external The angle that intersects with ontology circumference of camber line be acute angle, be modified with metal nano-rod in the notch.
Further, in micro laser of the present invention, silicon base and silicon column are the silicon substrate layer in silica-based nitride chip What upper etching obtained.
Further, in micro laser of the present invention, the gold nanorods modified in notch are used as under the conditions of optical pumping and partly lead Body saturated absorbing body carries out mode modulation to the laser in microcavity, realizes the nitride mode locking Echo Wall laser of one direction transmitting.
The present invention is prepared not using photoetching and reactive ion etching process and inductively coupled plasma body deep silicon etching technique With the hanging notched asymmetric free standing structure film microcavity of size.Reasonable processing step is designed, the shape including etching template Shape is obtained by columnar stays and the smooth of the edge hanging notched non-to annular membrane microcavity.Reduce the bending damage of microcavity Scattering loss caused by consumption and side are coarse.
The method that the present invention prepares the nitride mode locking Echo Wall micro laser of above-mentioned one direction transmitting, steps are as follows:
Step 1: the spin coating photoresist on nitride layer, then using optical lithography techniques on the photoresist layer of spin coating Define the figure of asymmetric annular membrane micro-cavity structure described in claim 1;
Step 2: using electron beam evaporation plating system on nitride layer deposited metal nickel, then remove remaining photoresist, The metallic nickel left is as hard mask layer;
Step 3: the hard mask layer is based on, using the downward etch nitride layer of reactive ion etching technology until silicon The upper surface of substrate layer, thus by the nitride layer of the pattern transfer defined in the second step to silica-based nitride chip In, notched asymmetric annular membrane micro-cavity structure is obtained, then remains in nitrogen using dust technology or the removal of nickel etching liquid The metallic nickel of compound layer surface;
Step 4: making formation in silicon substrate layer support asymmetric annular membrane micro- using isotropic wet process silicon lithography The silicon column of cavity configuration and silicon base positioned at bottom surface, keep asymmetric annular membrane micro-cavity structure hanging;
Step 5: asymmetric annular membrane micro-cavity structure is immersed in the solution of metal nano-rod, make metal nano-rod It modifies in notch, obtains the nitride mode locking Echo Wall micro laser of one direction transmitting.
The utility model has the advantages that compared with prior art, the invention has the following advantages that
In order to obtain the low-loss nitride mode locking WGM laser of high-gain of unidirectional transmitting, the present invention passes through items The silicon column that the wet process silicon etching technology of the same sex can obtain well-formed supports notched asymmetric annular membrane microcavity, it is micro- The level cross-sectionn of chamber is unique asymmetrical shape: annulus+" cone angle "+" notch "." cone angle " be outer circle tangent line and one The acute angle portion that camber line is crossed to form in round outside.The structure is with following three advantages: first, " hanging " makes microcavity or more Surface is wrapped up by the air of low-refraction, the microcavity interface of light low-refraction air around high-index semiconductor and it The total internal reflection at place is conducted in the form of WGM, and the optical mode of vertical direction is also limited strongly, this WGM conduction and light It learns limitation and significantly reduces optical scattering and transmission bring optical loss, can produce the sufficiently large light for maintaining lasing effect Gain.Second, " annulus+" cone angle " microcavity,.Cirque structure has high optical gain and minimum optical loss, energy Enough laser resonances for forming closure, and light is unsatisfactory for total reflection condition in higher " cone angle " region of curvature, can will be in WGM microcavity Laser uni-directionally export, be conducive to integrated with other opto-electronic devices.Third, on the ontology (I) of asymmetric annular membrane It is provided with the notch for being connected to microcavity with outside, modification gold nanorods are as saturation semiconductor absorber in microcavity in notch The phase of oscillating laser be modulated, and then realize the mode locking of laser, the quality factor and power of improving laser, mode-locked laser Monochromaticjty and power be all much better than the laser of non-mode locking.
Currently, the Echo Wall laser about one direction transmitting has had been reported that, but one direction is emitted and mode locking The Echo Wall micro laser that function integrates is not reported.So the most important innovation of the design is nitride for the first time The one direction transmitting of Echo Wall laser and the function of mode locking are combined together, and annulus+asymmetric annular membrane of cone angle+notch is outstanding Empty device structure design realizes the nitride mode locking Echo Wall laser of one direction transmitting for the first time, improves the monochrome of Echo Wall laser Property and output power, are more conducive to industrial application.
