Description

Silicon waveguide end face coupling structure and manufacturing method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of photonic integrated devices, in particular to a silicon waveguide end face coupling structure and a manufacturing method thereof.
Background
Silicon photonic integration based on silicon waveguides has become a key technology for the development of high performance and low cost optical communication components and photonic integrated devices. The silicon photonic chip is generally prepared on a Silicon On Insulator (SOI) substrate, and a silicon material is used as a waveguide core region part, and the cross section size of the core region is hundreds of nanometers. Silica is typically used as the waveguide cladding material. Because the crystalline silicon and the silicon dioxide have higher refractive index contrast, the area of the silicon waveguide mode field is generally smaller than 1 square micron, so that the high-density photonic integration can be supported, and the silicon waveguide has wide application prospect in the aspects of high-performance and low-cost optical communication components and photonic integrated devices.
In practical applications of silicon photonic chips, a silicon waveguide needs to be optically coupled with a single-mode fiber with low loss. However, the mode field area of a common single mode fiber is about 80 μm square, and the very small mode field area of the silicon waveguide makes it very difficult to directly couple with the common single mode fiber. Theoretical calculations and experiments indicate that direct coupling of silicon waveguides with conventional single mode fibers introduces coupling losses in excess of 10dB due to mode field mismatch. This greatly limits the practical application of silicon photonics chips.
Therefore, realizing the high-efficiency coupling of the silicon waveguide and the common single-mode fiber is a key problem of the silicon photonic integration technology towards practical application. At present, two technical routes are mainly adopted for coupling silicon waveguide and common single-mode optical fiber. The first is to prepare an upward diffraction grating on a silicon waveguide to realize the vertical coupling between the silicon waveguide and a common single-mode fiber, and the effective area of an upward diffraction light field can be matched with the mode field of the common single-mode fiber by adjusting the size of the silicon waveguide and the design of the grating, so that the coupling efficiency is improved. However, the working bandwidth of this vertical coupling is limited by the diffraction bandwidth of the grating, and the coupling efficiency is greatly limited due to the scattering in other directions and has polarization dependence. In addition, the grating fabrication process is also complex. The second technical route is end-face coupling, which has wider coupling bandwidth, is independent of polarization and has wider adaptability. However, since the mismatch between the mode fields of the silicon waveguide and the optical fiber is large, a mode field transformation structure needs to be designed on one side of the silicon waveguide, so that the output mode field of the waveguide is matched with the optical fiber, and the coupling loss is reduced. One end of a silicon waveguide is usually designed to be tapered to improve the mode field mismatch between the fiber and the waveguide. In the taper structure, as the size of the silicon waveguide is gradually reduced, the mode field of the silicon waveguide is gradually increased, and the effect of mode field conversion can be achieved. However, due to the limitation of micro-fabrication, the silicon waveguide is difficult to be made very small in size, so that the mode field conversion capability of a pure tapered structure is limited. Further develops a mode field conversion structure of a large-size silicon nitride waveguide or a polymer waveguide wrapped outside the conical structure. However, this structure cannot be made large in size in order to avoid the silicon nitride waveguide or the polymer waveguide from forming multimode transmission. In addition, the limitation of the silicon nitride etching process in the etching depth also limits the mode field size supported by the mode field transformation structure. Therefore, the mode field conversion structure based on the tapered structure is still used for coupling the silicon waveguide and the common single-mode fiber, and large loss is still introduced. Therefore, there is a need to develop an end-face coupling structure with simple fabrication process and mode field transformation size matching with a common single-mode fiber for low-loss coupling between a silicon waveguide and the common single-mode fiber.
