Description

Optical mixer
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of coherent optical communication, in particular to an optical mixer.
Background
The optical mixer is a crucial device in coherent optical communication, and for demodulation of coherent signals, the phase error at the exit of each channel of the optical mixer must be very small.
The optical mixers currently used are generally 2 of the following:
1. when the optical mixer based on the multimode interferometer of 4 × 4(4 input ends and 4 output ends) or 2 × 4(2 input ends and 4 output ends) is used, the bandwidth of the optical mixer is small and the insertion loss is large due to the characteristics of the multimode interferometer of 4 × 4 or 2 × 4.
2. The optical mixer is based on optical cross and 1 × 2 and 2 × 2 beam splitters, and single-mode waveguide connection is adopted between each optical device of the optical mixer; however, the effective refractive index of the single-mode waveguide is very sensitive to the width change of the waveguide, and the process error causes unavoidable fluctuation of the actually manufactured waveguide width value, which finally causes great fluctuation of the phase error of the optical mixer based on the single-mode waveguide, and further causes low yield of the optical mixer.
Disclosure of Invention
Aiming at the defects in the prior art, the invention solves the technical problems that: to increase the bandwidth of an optical mixer, reduce the insertion loss of the optical mixer, and improve the yield of the optical mixer.
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides an optical mixer, comprising an optical cross, 2 input beam splitters and 2 output beam splitters;
the 2 input beam splitters are nx 2 beam splitters, and the 2 input beam splitters are used for: respectively splitting signal light and local oscillator light, and transmitting the split signal light and the local oscillator light to optical cross through a multimode bent waveguide;
the optical crossover is used to: after the output light of the 2 input beam splitters is subjected to cross transmission, the output light is transmitted to the 2 output beam splitters through the multimode bent waveguide respectively;
multimode curved waveguides are used to: generating multi-mode interference after the fundamental mode light enters the multi-mode bent waveguide, and forming fundamental mode light emergence at an outlet of the multi-mode bent waveguide;
the 2 output beam splitters are 2 × 2 beam splitters, which are used to: and receiving the fundamental mode light which is crossed and emitted and transmitted by the multimode bent waveguide, and outputting the fundamental mode light.
According to the scheme, the incidence of the basic mode light is realized by using 2 n multiplied by 2 beam splitters, the emergence of the basic mode light is realized by using 2 multiplied by 2 beam splitters, and the relative phase differences of the basic mode light output by 4 output ends of the 2 output beam splitters are respectively 0 degree, 180 degrees, 90 degrees and 270 degrees (relative to one port), so that the light mixing is realized; compared with the 4 x 4 or 2 x 4 multimode interferometer in the prior art, the n x 2 or 2 x 2 beam splitter of the invention can lead to larger bandwidth and smaller insertion loss of the optical mixer.
Meanwhile, the optical cross, input beam splitter and output beam splitter of the invention are connected by multimode curved waveguide, and the principle lies in that: in the process of processing a waveguide device, due to errors in local area lithography and etching, the actual size of the waveguide is different from the design value, and even if the actual size of the same device is made in different positions, the yield of the phase-type device is difficult to be high. However, the change rate of the effective refractive index of the waveguide becomes smaller with the increase of the waveguide width, which means that the multimode waveguide with a wider width has higher tolerance to process errors, that is, compared with the existing optical mixer based on the single-mode waveguide, the optical mixer has larger process tolerance, low process precision requirement and high yield by adopting the multimode curved waveguide.

According to the scheme, the cross transmission of the output light of the 2 input beam splitters and the transmission of the cross-transmitted light to the 2 output beam splitters are clearly achieved, and meanwhile phase errors caused by the introduction of light cross are eliminated.
On the basis of the technical scheme, the circle center of the inner side wall arc and the circle center of the outer side wall arc of the multimode curved waveguide section are located at different positions.
According to the scheme, the widths of the multimode curved waveguide section can be continuously changed along the light propagation direction through different distribution of the circle centers of the arcs of the inner side wall and the outer side wall of the multimode curved waveguide section, so that the fundamental mode light generates multimode interference after entering the multimode curved waveguide section, and the fundamental mode light is formed at the outlet of the multimode curved waveguide section to be emitted again.
On the basis of the technical scheme, each output end of each input beam splitter and the multimode curved waveguide in optical cross connection are 1 multimode curved waveguide segment; the multimode curved waveguide connected between the output end of each optical cross and the input end of the output beam splitter is formed by connecting at least 2 multimode curved waveguide segments.
On the basis of the technical scheme, the multimode curved waveguides connected with the output end of each optical cross and the input end of the output beam splitter are formed by connecting 3 multimode curved waveguide segments.
According to the scheme, the design difficulty of the multimode curved waveguide with the longer length can be reduced by segmenting the multimode curved waveguide, and the design is convenient.
On the basis of the technical scheme, the included angle of each optical cross at the same position is 2 times of the bending angle of the central line of the multimode curved waveguide section.
On the basis of the technical scheme, a straight waveguide is arranged at the 2 end of each multimode curved waveguide section.
On the basis of the technical scheme, all input ends of each input beam splitter and all output ends of each output beam splitter are provided with straight waveguides.
According to the scheme, the straight waveguide can increase the stability of light transmission.
