Description

Tunable surface plasma waveguide with temperature sensing function
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of optical communication, in particular to a tunable surface plasma waveguide with temperature sensing.
Background
The surface plasmon (Surface plasmon polariton, SPP for short) is an electromagnetic mode between a light wave and a movable surface charge, which is realized by changing a sub-wavelength structure of a metal surface, and can support the surface plasmon wave transmitted by a metal-medium interface, so that light energy is transmitted, and the light energy is not limited by diffraction limit, and the SPP plays an important role in manipulating the light energy in nanometer level because of the unique property. The combination of the Zhejiang university and the Alfen laboratory subject of the Royal college of Swedish provides a metal groove SPP waveguide in the text Novel surface plasmon waveguide for high integrations, and the designed waveguide structure can realize the optical field limitation of sub-wavelength magnitude, the loss is only 4dB/um, however, although researchers realize the limitation of the optical field to the magnitude of tens of nanometers, the loss of the designed waveguide device is still very large, and the requirement of large-scale application cannot be met. In 2018, the publication of "Broadband gate-tunable terahertz plasmons in graphene heterostructures" of Nature and Photonic science shows that a double-layer graphene heterostructure is designed and prepared on a silicon carbide waveguide and full light control is realized on a graphene surface plasmon polariton, however, the research of graphene SPP is limited to the waveguide and lacks research on temperature sensing at present, and the requirements of practical application are not met. The natural communication is published in 2013 under the heading of Plasmonic gold mushroom arrays with refractive index sensing figures of merit approaching the theoretical limit, and the sensitivity of the sensor device proposed by the research team can reach 1050nmRIU-1, however, although the high sensitivity is realized by researchers, the structure is large in size, not easy to integrate, and cannot realize photoelectric integration and all-optical loop.
Most of the current research on SPP waveguides or plasmon sensors is focused on one, and few reports on realizing small-sized sensors in combination with SPP waveguides are made.
Disclosure of Invention

The technical scheme for realizing the aim of the invention is as follows:
unlike the prior art, the tunable surface plasma waveguide with temperature sensing comprises a silicon substrate layer, an InGaAsP semiconductor buffer layer and a duty cycle of 10, which are sequentially spliced from bottom to top: the metal layer of the metal grating is formed by tightly connecting metal Ag and graphene, wherein the length and the thickness of the metal layer are the same, the width ratio is 2 to 1, the metal Ag is positioned at the left half part of the metal layer, the graphene is positioned at the right half part of the metal layer, a grating air gap of the metal grating is filled with temperature sensing medium ethanol, the plasma waveguide structure can form a high-strength LSPR effect at the corners of a single-layer graphene layer, and after the ethanol senses the environmental temperature, the equivalent effective refractive index of the whole plasma waveguide is changed, the resonance wavelength is changed, and temperature sensing is realized by detecting the change of a resonance peak.
The InGaAsP semiconductor is a high-refractive-index medium InGaAsP.
The plasma waveguide is used for realizing the application of the tunable surface plasma waveguide with temperature sensing as an SPP nano waveguide device with tunable emergent wavelength in a sub-wavelength scale device by changing the Fermi level and the carrier concentration of graphene.
The preparation method of the tunable surface plasma waveguide with temperature sensing comprises the following steps: firstly, depositing an InGaAsP semiconductor buffer layer on a silicon substrate, then etching a metal grating structure formed by metal Ag and graphene on the InGaAsP semiconductor buffer layer, and then filling temperature sensing medium ethanol in a grating air gap of the metal grating.
Incident light vertically enters the plasma waveguide from the upper part, surface plasma resonance phenomenon occurs at the interface of the Ag and InGaAsP semiconductor buffer layer due to the scattering effect of the plasma waveguide structure, meanwhile, the surface plasma resonance phenomenon is also realized at the interface of the temperature sensing medium ethanol and the graphene, the 2 types of resonance are coupled and finally converged to the corners of the graphene to form a high-strength LSPR effect, and the equivalent effective refractive index of the whole plasma waveguide is changed after the ethanol senses the environmental temperature, so that the resonance wavelength is changed, and temperature sensing is realized by detecting the change of the resonance peak.
The tunable graphene SPP waveguide sensor with the temperature sensing characteristic can be used as an SPP waveguide device with tunable emergent wavelength in a sub-wavelength scale device, can be used for high-sensitivity temperature detection, can realize a waveguide device with tunable threshold value by adjusting the Fermi level, carrier concentration and environmental temperature of graphene, and can be used for a high-sensitivity temperature sensor by detecting the change of resonant wavelength in reverse.
The waveguide structure can provide stronger localization constraint, and provides basic unit devices for the surface plasma excitation circuit, so that the applications of larger bandwidth, ultra-fast data transmission and ultra-sensitive temperature detection are realized.
The waveguide can change the resonance wavelength and the threshold value of the SPP nano laser by controlling the ambient temperature or can obtain the variation of the ambient temperature by detecting the variation of the resonance wavelength of the SPP nano waveguide device, and the waveguide has the capability of tunable emergent wavelength and high sensitivity to the variation of the ambient temperature.
