Description

Three-dimensional hybrid multiplexing signal all-optical wavelength conversion device on silicon substrate
Technical Field
The invention relates to an all-optical wavelength conversion device on a silicon substrate in the field of optical waveguide, in particular to an all-optical wavelength conversion device for three-dimensional hybrid multiplexing signals on a silicon substrate.
Background
All-optical wavelength conversion has long been considered as an ideal solution to increase the flexibility of dynamic wavelength routing networks. Meanwhile, with the continuous increase of the demand of the information society of the internet of everything for high bandwidth capacity of optical communication and the increasing development of the technology of planar optical waveguide integrated devices, people begin to fully exploit and utilize the Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) technology, the mode multiplexing (MDM) technology and the polarization multiplexing (PDM) technology in silicon-based waveguides to increase the communication capacity. In an optical communication network, in order to realize wavelength reuse, research on all-optical wavelength conversion of multiplexed signals of different dimensions is becoming popular.
However, due to the technical difficulties of inter-mode crosstalk, difficult phase matching control, polarization sensitivity and the like in the multimode nonlinear waveguide, the research on all-optical wavelength conversion of the multidimensional mixed multiplexing signal is slow. The requirements for realizing all-optical wavelength conversion of the multidimensional mixed multiplexing signal are as follows: on one hand, relatively large conversion bandwidth and conversion efficiency as high as possible are required, multi-wavelength multiplexing can be realized, and channel blockage can be reduced in an optical communication system; on the other hand, it is desirable to have relatively low inter-modal crosstalk and loss to ensure that information is transmitted in the channel without errors and with high quality. Recently, a method of optimizing dispersion is proposed, which can improve the wavelength conversion efficiency and effectively reduce the inter-mode crosstalk, and thus becomes a research hotspot. For an all-optical wavelength conversion system, a core device of the all-optical wavelength conversion system is a multimode nonlinear waveguide which is used for realizing high-efficiency conversion of multimode signals based on a four-wave mixing effect. The literature: YanqiaoXie, ShimingGao and Sailing He, "All-optical wavelength conversion and multiplexing for polarization-multiplexed signal using an arbitrary wavelength in a silicon wavelength guide," Opt. let 37(11),1898-1900,2012 shows an All-optical wavelength conversion scheme for a dual-polarization multiplexed signal. The literature: zijun Xu, Qiang Jin, Zhuihua Tu and Shiming Gao, "All-optical wavelength conversion for telecommunications mode-division multiplexing in integrated silicon waveguides," application. Opt.57,5036-5042,2018 gives a design solution for a nonlinear waveguide for wavelength conversion of dual-mode multiplexed signals. On this basis, the literature: baobao Chen, Junfan Chen, Yi Zhao and Shiming Gao, "Silicon-based on-chip all-optical wavelength conversion for two-dimensional hybrid multiplexing signals," J, nonlinear, Opt, Phys, Mater, 28(3),1950034,2019 provides an all-optical wavelength conversion device for realizing multi-wavelength dual-mode signals, and can realize high-efficiency all-optical wavelength conversion of multi-wavelength fundamental mode and high-order mode signals. However, such devices can only achieve wavelength conversion of the transverse electric mode of the signal, and usually require cooperation of a polarization controller and a coupling grating of the transverse electric mode. Therefore, the prior art lacks an all-optical wavelength conversion method which is suitable for polarization multiplexing signals, wavelength division multiplexing signals and mode multiplexing signals at the same time and has high efficiency in broadband.

The working process of the all-optical wavelength conversion device on a silicon substrate as a three-dimensional hybrid multiplexing signal of the present invention is described below:
the working principle of the invention is shown in fig. 7, and the signal light of each wavelength () carrying information is a bundleAnd pumping light with the working wavelength of 1550 nm is simultaneously input from the input end of the all-optical wavelength conversion device, and idler frequency light corresponding to the wavelength of the signal light is obtained at the output end. The signal light and the idler light simultaneously comprise two polarization states (TM and TE), and each polarization state comprises two modes (a fundamental mode and a first-order mode). When signal light and pump light are input into the all-optical wavelength conversion device, the signal light and the pump light firstly enter the input end (TM) of the transverse magnetic mode demultiplexer11Mode demultiplexer) each wavelength of the light beam contains two polarization states, each polarization state containing both a fundamental mode and a first order mode. TM polarized first-order mode component in signal light and pump light passes through transverse magnetic mode demultiplexer (TM)11Mode demultiplexer) and input to the input of the polarization beam splitting rotator 1, i.e. output from the lower waveguide, and into the transverse electric mode multiplexer (TE)11A lower input port of the mode multiplexer 2); the TE polarization first-order mode component is downloaded from the transverse electric mode demultiplexer and input to the input end of the transverse electric mode multiplexer through the connecting waveguide, namely output from the upper waveguide and input into the transverse electric mode multiplexer (TE)11An upper input port of the mode multiplexer 1); the TE and TM fundamental modes are transmitted in the bus waveguide until entering the polarization beam splitting rotator, the TM fundamental mode is converted into the TE fundamental mode, the TE fundamental mode is output from the lower waveguide of the polarization beam splitting rotator and enters a transverse electric mode multiplexer (TE)11Mode multiplexer 2), the TE fundamental mode is output directly from the bus waveguide and enters the transverse electric mode multiplexer (TE)11Mode multiplexer 1). The light beams in two polarization states are subjected to all-optical wavelength conversion based on a four-wave mixing effect in two multimode nonlinear waveguides respectively, generated idler frequency light, signal light and pump light enter two transverse electric mode demultiplexers together, finally, the idler frequency light is filtered out through filters from the output of four single-mode output waveguides, the required idler frequency light is obtained, the idler frequency light output by a port 1 of the single-mode output waveguide carries signals identical to TE first-order mode signal light, the idler frequency light output by a port 2 of the single-mode output waveguide carries signals identical to TE basic mode signal light, the idler frequency light output by a port 3 of the single-mode output waveguide carries signals identical to TM basic mode signal light, and the idler frequency light output by a port 4 of the single-mode output waveguide carries signals identical to TM basic mode signal lightCarrying the same signal as the TM first-order mode signal light.
Since the devices in the device have broadband characteristics, the device is suitable for all-optical wavelength conversion of a mixed multiplexing signal of channels with the wavelength number of N multiplied by the polarization number of 2 multiplied by the mode number of 2= 4N. The conversion efficiency of the idler frequency light output by the wavelength conversion device in the dual-polarization dual-mode is related to the wavelength of the signal light, as shown in fig. 8, because the TM-polarized signal light needs to pass through the polarization beam splitter rotator and the losses of the different modes of light during transmission are different, the loss of the TM-polarized signal light is larger than that of the TE-polarized signal light, and the conversion efficiency is lower by 0.45 dB. Simulation results show that the device has the characteristics of high conversion efficiency (-20.7dB) and broadband (66 nm), and can realize all-optical wavelength conversion of three-dimensional hybrid multiplexing signals.
