Description

Lithium niobate thin film double Y branch optical waveguide modulator adopting curve optical waveguide connection
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of optical waveguide phase modulators, in particular to a lithium niobate thin film double-Y branch optical waveguide modulator connected by adopting a curved optical waveguide.
Background
The optical fiber gyroscope is an angular velocity sensing instrument based on Sagnac phase shift effect, and has a series of advantages of all-solid-state structure, small volume, electromagnetic interference resistance, high precision, long service life and the like. As shown in fig. 1, the optical fiber gyroscope is composed of a low coherence light source, an optical fiber coupler, a Y waveguide phase modulator, a polarization maintaining optical fiber ring, a photodetector and a signal processing circuit, wherein optical elements are connected in a pigtail fusion mode to form a closed optical path, and the circuit part adopts a full digital closed loop detection scheme. When the polarization-maintaining optical fiber ring rotates at an angular rate omega relative to the inertial space, two lines of light waves transmitted in the positive and negative directions respectively experience different optical paths to generate a sagnac phase difference phi s, the signal processing circuit introduces a modulation signal on the Y waveguide phase modulator to counteract the sagnac phase difference phi s caused by the rotation of the optical fiber ring, and the angular rate information of the system rotating relative to the inertial space can be obtained by detecting the modulation signal.
In order to improve the optical path integration level of the fiber optic gyroscope and simplify the optical path adjustment process, a scheme of adopting a double-Y-branch optical waveguide phase modulator to replace a combination of an optical fiber coupler and a Y-waveguide phase modulator in an original optical path is provided in the industry. As shown in fig. 2, the double Y-branch optical waveguide phase modulator chip uses a lithium niobate wafer as a substrate, and forms a Y-branch optical waveguide near the light source end, a Y-branch optical waveguide near the polarization maintaining optical fiber ring end, a base waveguide connecting the two Y-branch optical waveguides, and a modulation electrode on the wafer surface by a microelectronic patterning process and a degenerate proton exchange optical waveguide preparation process.
However, when the double-Y-branch optical waveguide phase modulator is applied to a fiber optic gyroscope, the input light is split by approximately 3dB on the first Y-branch, wherein half of the optical power propagates along the middle base waveguide to reach the second Y-branch; the other half of the optical power forms an asymmetric mode, radiating into the lithium niobate substrate and re-coupling on the second branch (as shown by the dashed line in fig. 2), causing a parasitic phase difference between the two arms. The phase difference is very sensitive to temperature, crosstalk and noise are formed in an optical path, and zero offset stability of the fiber-optic gyroscope is affected.
The existing double-Y branch optical waveguide phase modulator mainly adopts a diffusion type optical waveguide technology (proton exchange technology/titanium diffusion technology) to manufacture the double-Y branch optical waveguide, because the refractive index difference delta n between a waveguide layer and a substrate layer is small and is generally only 0.01-0.04, the light binding capability is weak, the bending radius of the lithium niobate diffusion type optical waveguide is large (the waveguide loss is sharply increased due to the excessively small bending radius). Meanwhile, the bending radius of the lithium niobate diffusion type optical waveguide is larger, so that the size of the space occupied by the whole chip is greatly increased.

As shown in fig. 3, 4 and 5, a preferred embodiment of the lithium niobate thin-film dual Y-branch optical waveguide modulator connected by using the curved optical waveguide according to the present invention includes a dual Y-branch optical waveguide phase modulator chip 10, where an end face on one side of the dual Y-branch optical waveguide phase modulator chip 10 is an input end face 11, and an end face on the other side is an output end face 12. The double-Y-branch optical waveguide phase modulator chip 10 comprises a substrate 1, wherein a silicon dioxide layer 2 is arranged on the substrate 1, an optical waveguide layer made of lithium niobate thin film material is arranged on the silicon dioxide layer 2, and the substrate 1 is preferably a silicon substrate as the substrate 1 and the optical waveguide layer are isolated by the silicon dioxide layer 2; of course, the substrate 1 may be a quartz substrate or a lithium niobate substrate.
The manufacturing method of the optical waveguide layer comprises the steps of firstly arranging a layer of lithium niobate thin film material with the thickness of 300-900 nm on the silicon dioxide layer 2, wherein the thickness of the lithium niobate thin film material is preferably 500 nm; and then, etching the partial lithium niobate thin film material downwards by 150-450 nm, wherein the etching thickness is preferably half of that of the lithium niobate thin film material. The remaining part of the upper part of the lithium niobate thin film material after etching forms a lithium niobate ridge optical waveguide with a double Y-branch structure, and the lower part of the lithium niobate thin film material is not etched to form a lithium niobate thin film layer 3. The cross section of the lithium niobate ridge optical waveguide is preferably rectangular, but due to the accuracy limitation of the etching process, the cross section of the lithium niobate ridge optical waveguide is difficult to be strictly rectangular, and the single-film transmission requirement is only required to be met. The lithium niobate ridge optical waveguide forms a double Y-branch optical waveguide structure including a first Y-branch optical waveguide 31, a transition optical waveguide 33, and a second Y-branch optical waveguide 32. The two branch ends of the first Y-branch optical waveguide 31 are located on the input end surface 11 of the dual Y-branch optical waveguide phase modulator chip 10, and are respectively used for connecting with the low coherence light source and the photodetector, and preferably, the input end surface 11 of the dual Y-branch optical waveguide phase modulator chip 10 is ground and polished, so that the two branch ends of the first Y-branch optical waveguide 31 are respectively and precisely connected with the corresponding ends of the low coherence light source and the photodetector (or tail fibers connected with the corresponding ends) to form an optical path. The beam combining end of the first Y-branch optical waveguide 31 is connected with the beam combining end of the second Y-branch optical waveguide 32 through a transition optical waveguide 33, and two branch ends of the second Y-branch optical waveguide 32 are located on the output end face 12 of the dual Y-branch optical waveguide phase modulator chip 10 and are respectively used for connecting two tail fiber ends of a polarization-maintaining optical fiber ring; the output end face 12 of the double-Y-branch optical waveguide phase modulator chip 10 is preferably ground and polished to be precisely connected with the two tail fiber ends of the polarization maintaining fiber ring to form an optical path.
And a protective layer 4 is arranged on the optical waveguide layer, and the difference between the refractive indexes of the lithium niobate thin film material and the protective layer material is 0.1-1.2, preferably 0.7. The protective layer 4 is used for protecting the optical waveguide layer from physical damage, and preventing the physical damage of the ridge-shaped optical waveguide and other substances with refractive indexes higher than or close to that of the lithium niobate from covering the surface of the lithium niobate ridge-shaped optical waveguide, so that the light limiting structure of the lithium niobate ridge-shaped optical waveguide is damaged or changed, light is emitted out of the optical waveguide in a normal transmission mode, the loss of the optical waveguide is increased, the protective layer 4 can be a silicon dioxide oxide layer, and of course, other materials meeting the requirement of the refractive index can be adopted. Because the lithium niobate ridge optical waveguide is formed by etching, the refractive index difference between the lithium niobate ridge optical waveguide and the protective layer 4 can reach 0.1-1.2, compared with an optical waveguide structure formed by diffusion, the refractive index difference between the optical waveguide and an adjacent medium is greatly increased, so that the light binding capability of the lithium niobate ridge optical waveguide is greatly enhanced, and when the refractive index difference between a lithium niobate thin film material and a protective layer material is 1.2, the minimum bending radius of the transition optical waveguide 33 is 10 μm, so that the loss requirement of the optical waveguide can be met, and therefore, the transition optical waveguide 33 can adopt a curve structure which can meet the bending radius requirement at will, and preferably adopts a Fermat spiral structure. The protective layer 4 is provided with a modulation electrode 5, and the modulation electrode 5 is used for performing phase modulation on optical signals of two branch optical paths of the second Y-branch optical waveguide 32, and preferably adopts a push-pull modulation electrode.
In this embodiment, since the transition optical waveguide 33 has a curved structure, when an optical signal is transmitted in the first Y-branch optical waveguide 31 or the second Y-branch optical waveguide 32, the radiation light is only radiated to the external environment of the waveguide, and is not re-coupled into another Y-branch optical waveguide, thereby effectively eliminating the crosstalk and noise problems caused by the radiation mode coupling in the optical path. Meanwhile, in the embodiment, the double-Y-branch optical waveguide is manufactured by etching the ridge optical waveguide on the lithium niobate thin film material, so that the refractive index difference between the lithium niobate ridge optical waveguide and the protective layer 4 is increased, the optical waveguide light binding capacity is enhanced, the minimum bending radius of the optical waveguide can reach 10 microns, and compared with the prior art, the double-Y-branch optical waveguide phase modulator chip is greatly reduced (the requirement of the existing diffusion type double-Y-branch optical waveguide phase modulator chip 10 structure on the minimum bending radius of the optical waveguide is in centimeter level), so that the volume of the double-Y-branch optical waveguide phase modulator chip 10 can be greatly reduced; and further, the double-Y structure of the optical waveguide and the size of the transition waveguide area are greatly reduced, and the miniaturization of the double-Y branch optical waveguide phase modulator is realized.
When the optical fiber gyroscope is manufactured by adopting the optical waveguide phase modulator of the embodiment, only two branch ends of the first Y-branch optical waveguide 31 are required to be connected with the low coherence light source and the photoelectric detector respectively, the photoelectric detector is connected with the signal processing circuit, the modulation electrode 5 is electrically connected with the signal processing circuit, and two branch ends of the second Y-branch optical waveguide 32 are connected with two tail optical fiber ends of the polarization maintaining optical fiber ring respectively.
The undescribed parts of the present invention are consistent with the prior art, and are not described herein.
The above description is only an embodiment of the present invention, and not intended to limit the scope of the present invention, and all equivalent structures made by using the contents of the present specification and the drawings can be directly or indirectly applied to other related technical fields, and are within the scope of the present invention.
