Detailed Description
For the purposes of promoting an understanding of the principles and advantages of the disclosure, reference will now be made to the embodiments illustrated in the drawings and specific language will be used to describe the same.
Studies have shown that several approaches have been proposed in order to reduce bending losses. For example, spline curves and normal bend stitching are used to facilitate smooth connection of input/output ends to curved waveguides. Normal bending means that the input and output straight waveguides are connected by a curved waveguide with a constant curvature. The waveguide loss decreases as the spline increases in length because the input-output waveguide and curved waveguide junction is smoother and the transition is smoother. However, the use of spline curves makes the 90 ° bend not of a fixed size and larger than a curved waveguide of constant curvature, which is undesirable. As another example, TIR mirrors and external grooves are proposed theoretically, which reduce bending losses by reducing field leakage outside the waveguide. However, these methods require additional manufacturing processes in addition to forming the silicon waveguide.
In recent years, euler curves have been used to reduce coupling losses between straight waveguides and normally curved waveguides. The use of euler curves in silicon waveguide bending has also been demonstrated, as the curvature of euler curves increases linearly from zero, enabling a smooth connection between a straight waveguide and a normally curved waveguide. Studies have shown that S-bend waveguides using Euler curves in optical delay lines; also a relatively large bending radius (20 μm) silicon waveguide L-bend consisting of a 100% euler curve was incorporated into the Si-PIC for measuring waveguide losses. As shown in fig. 1, a novel 90 ° curved waveguide curve consisting of euler curves and normal curves, ultimately reduces the bending losses. In fig. 1, a is a constant, which is called euler parameter. The end point of the Euler curve has a minimum radius of curvature R min The length of the curve is L max . Euler curve passing curvature at input is 1/R min Is connected to a symmetrical euler curve at the output of the 90 ° bend waveguide curve. Thus, the start and end points of the bend are (0, 0) and (R eff ,R eff ). The ratio of the euler curves can be varied from 0 to 100% by varying a. In other words, a curved waveguide consisting of 100% euler curves is not optimal, and the euler curves used in combination with normal bending are critical to ultimately reduce bending losses. The bends they propose are fabricated on Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) platforms, with r=4μm bending losses of 0.002dB/90 °, being 1/10 of the fixed curvature.
The losses of a curved waveguide are mainly three aspects, namely losses due to curved optical mode distribution (and its mismatch with the straight waveguide mode at the input and output connection), curved radiation losses (i.e. the imaginary part of the propagation constant) and scattering losses due to sidewall roughness, the former two depending on the radius of curvature, the latter depending on the shape of the waveguide cross section and the waveguide material, etc.
Therefore, in order to solve the problem of curvature radius in a centralized way, starting from the design of a bending path, the preparation method of the optimized bending waveguide reduces the loss problem caused by larger radiation loss of bending in the prior Euler bending; and a curved waveguide with lower loss and the same input/output position and footprint as a normal curve is called an optimized curved waveguide.
The following schematically illustrates a method of preparing an optimized curved waveguide. It should be noted that the examples are only specific embodiments of the disclosure and are not intended to limit the scope of the disclosure.

It should be noted that, the curve length t represents the length of the first portion of the curve of the pattern required by the electron beam exposure; the radius of curvature R is expressed from a reference radius R eff Change to R min Is a variable value of (a).
According to the embodiment of the disclosure, the acute included angle formed by tangent lines at two ends of the first part of the pattern required by the electron beam exposure is theta,
Figure BDA0003342755040000053
a is the bending angle corresponding to the optimized bending waveguide, and p is the proportion of the bending angle a.
According to embodiments of the present disclosure, for example, a may be a=90°, p=10 to 100%, where p may be, for example, but not limited to: 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 100%.
According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, coordinates (x, y) corresponding to each point on a first portion of a pattern required for electron beam exposure in plane coordinates x, y according to values of a, p specifically include:

wherein t is max The total length of the first part of the pattern required for electron beam exposure from the start point to the end point; r is R 0 Is defined by a reference radius R eff Is determined by the size of (2); b=p×a/2.
According to embodiments of the present disclosure, for example, R may be eff =4;R 0 =2.929。
In operation S202, a second portion of the pattern required for the electron beam exposure is obtained using a preset linear curvature bending relationship to obtain a second curved waveguide.
According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the preset linear curvature bending relationship is a curvature of
Figure BDA0003342755040000061
R is as follows min Is determined by the position of the end coordinates of the third part of the pattern required by the electron beam exposure and the angle corresponding to the normal bending.
According to embodiments of the present disclosure, the angle corresponding to normal bending is a (1-p).
The normal bending means that the radius is a constant value R min Is a circular arc of (a).
In operation S203, a third portion of the electron beam exposure desired pattern symmetrical to the first portion of the electron beam exposure desired pattern is obtained with the predetermined straight line as the symmetry axis to obtain a third curved waveguide.
According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the preset straight line is y= -x+r eff
In operation S204, the first portion, the second portion, and the third portion are combined to form a pattern required for electron beam exposure, and an optimized curved waveguide is formed through an electron beam exposure process.
According to the embodiment of the disclosure, for example, the preset nonlinear curvature bending relationship, the preset linear curvature bending relationship and the preset straight line are y= -x+r eff Programming, inputting matlab software, then obtaining a bending graph after running the programming, deriving a coordinate file corresponding to the graph, processing to obtain a graph required by electron beam exposure, and forming the graph into an optimized bending waveguide through an electron beam exposure process.
According toAccording to the embodiments of the present disclosure, according to the above formulas (1) to (3), a curve of the proportion p of the bending angle corresponding to the optimized bending waveguide within the angle of 45 ° can be obtained. The intention to achieve a 90 ° bend is only to relate this curve to y= -x+r eff The curve is symmetrical, and the middle part is connected by an arc, thus obtaining a completely connected 90-degree bent waveguide.
In the optimized curved waveguide, one end of the second curved waveguide is connected to the end of the first curved waveguide, and one end of the third curved waveguide is connected to the other end of the second curved waveguide.
According to the embodiment of the disclosure, compared with the fact that the core of the Euler bending is that the curvature of the curve linearly increases along with the increase of the length of the curve, the first bending waveguide and the third bending waveguide are not completely adopted, but are combined with the normal bending second bending waveguide, so that the loss problem caused by the fact that the radiation loss of the bending is large in the Euler bending in the past is reduced.
Fig. 3 schematically shows a schematic graph obtained by matlab simulation when the embodiments of the present disclosure are in different relations according to curvature and bending length.
As shown in fig. 3, the normal bending is indicated by a dash-dot line, wherein the curvature of the curve represented by the dash-dot line is fixed and does not change with the change of the bending length; the optimized curve is represented by a solid line, wherein the curve represented by the solid line has a curvature that is the square root of the curve length; euler bending is indicated by a dashed line, wherein the dashed line represents a curve whose curvature varies linearly with the length of the curve. The solid line is between the dotted line and the dashed line. For the three curves, coordinates (0, 0) and coordinates (4, 4) are turning points joining a straight line (straight waveguide) and a curved portion. The curvature of the normal curve (dash-dot line) suddenly transitions from 0 (linear curvature of 0) before the coordinates (0, 0) to 1/4 of the fixed curvature, and from 1/4 at (4, 4) to 0 (linear curvature of 0) after, where a large mode conversion loss occurs. The curvature of the euler curve (dashed line) varies linearly with the length of the curve, i.e. gradually increases from 0 at (0, 0) and then gradually decreases until the curvature at coordinates (4, 4) will be 0. This variation reduces the mode switching losses at the splice, but it also concentrates the task of achieving a 90 ° turn of the mode at the mid-point of the euler curve, increasing the radiation losses of the bend. The optimized bending (solid line) does not directly change the curvature step by step, and the task of focusing 90 DEG turning to the middle point of bending like Euler bending, so that larger bending radiation loss is caused, and the two main losses existing in normal bending and Euler bending are balanced.
Fig. 4 schematically illustrates a schematic diagram of an optimized curved waveguide curve obtained by matlab simulation when the ratio of the optimized curved waveguide curve is different according to another embodiment of the present disclosure.
As shown in fig. 4, when p=50%, a first portion of a pattern required for electron beam exposure is obtained using a preset nonlinear curvature bending relationship to obtain a first curved waveguide 1; obtaining a second part of the pattern required by the electron beam exposure by utilizing a preset linear curvature bending relationship to obtain a second bending waveguide 2; taking a preset straight line as a symmetry axis, obtaining a third part of the pattern required by the electron beam exposure, which is symmetrical to the first part of the pattern required by the electron beam exposure, so as to obtain a third curved waveguide 3; the first part, the second part and the third part are combined to form a pattern required by electron beam exposure, and an optimized curved waveguide is formed through an electron beam exposure process; wherein in the optimized curved waveguide, one end of the second curved waveguide 2 is connected to the end of the first curved waveguide 1, and one end of the third curved waveguide 3 is connected to the other end of the second curved waveguide 2. When p is 0, the obviously bent waveguide curve bends slowly, and the loss is reduced.
According to another embodiment of the present disclosure, the input light wavelength is 1550nm, the reference radius R, according to the proportion of 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 100% in the bend angles corresponding to the optimized bend waveguides eff When a is 4 μm and a is 90 °, a corresponding bending loss table is obtained by FDTD simulation, and when the proportion of the bending angle corresponding to the optimized bending waveguide reaches 50%, as shown in the following table 1, the obtained value of 90 ° bending loss is the minimum 0.00073dB, i.e., 0.00073dB/90 °.

When the curvature of the curve is proportional to the square of the path length of the curve, a 90 ° bend having a square relationship of 100% gives a waveguide having a bending loss of 0.02801dB, namely 0.02801dB/90 °, and a transmittance of 0.993571.
