Description

Tunable optical differentiator based on silicon-based metamaterial
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of integrated photonic devices, and particularly relates to a tunable optical differentiator based on a silicon-based metamaterial.
Background
Since the 21 st century, people have gradually entered the information age due to rapid development of computer technology, microelectronics technology, and communication technology, and the demand for information in contemporary society has reached unprecedented heights. As the capacity, bandwidth and rate requirements for communications have increased dramatically, electronic technology-based communication networks have nearly reached speed limits and processing of signals in the electrical domain has become increasingly difficult. The all-optical operation utilizes the photon technology to realize the generation and the processing of signals, and the inherent characteristics of high bandwidth and high speed of photon signals are expected to overcome the speed bottleneck in electronic circuits. To achieve this goal, basic modules in the optical field corresponding to those in electronic circuits need to be designed and fabricated. The optical differentiator is one of basic devices for processing ultrafast optical signals, can generate differential operation on ultrahigh-speed optical signals, and has important application in optical pulse recombination and shaping, ultrahigh-speed coding, all-optical differential equation solution and the like.
The silicon-based optical device has a submicron structural size, and the manufacturing process of the silicon-based optical device is compatible with a standard integrated circuit process, so that the silicon-based optical device is expected to become a promising material system for all-optical operation. The scheme based on the silicon-based optical differentiator mainly focuses on utilizing the micro-ring resonant cavity and the Mach-Zehnder interferometer to realize differentiation of optical signals, but is limited by the characteristics of an interference structure, the differential bandwidth of the optical differentiator is about dozens of GHz, and the processing of the differentiator on THz-level large-bandwidth optical signals is limited. In addition, the optical time domain differentiator based on the directional coupler reported in the literature can achieve a differentiation bandwidth reaching the THz level in a critical full coupling state, but once the device is prepared, the central wavelength of the differentiator is determined, so that the flexibility of optical signal processing is reduced.
The silicon-based metamaterial structure can be used for designing devices with various functions by utilizing the refractive index regulating and controlling capability of Sub-Wavelength gratings (SWG) on the silicon-based waveguide material. The structural period of the SWG is in a submicron level, the period is usually less than three hundred nanometers, the refractive index change of the SWG can enable the light wave not to be affected by scattering loss, and for the light wave, the SWG is equivalent to an equivalent silicon-based metamaterial, and the refractive index of the SWG is between two materials (usually silicon and air) forming the SWG. By reasonably designing the structure of the silicon-based metamaterial area SWG, the size of the device can be reduced, the integration level of the device can be improved, and an ultra-small device with a specific function can be realized.
