Description

Small broadband mode conversion device
Technical Field
The invention belongs to a broadband mode conversion device in the technical field of optical communication, and particularly relates to a small chalcogenide broadband mode conversion device based on topological optimization reverse design.
Background
In the past decades, with the progress of integrated photonics circuits, erbium-doped fiber amplifiers, and communication multiplexing technologies, the capacity of optical communication networks has been greatly increased, however, recent scientific research has confirmed that the transmission capacity of conventional single-mode fiber communication systems has been increasingly approaching its nonlinear shannon limit, and thus, in order to increase the capacity of communication systems and meet the needs of people for service bandwidth, the modular division multiplexing technology has emerged. The mode division multiplexing device can increase the capacity of the optical communication system by several times by multiplexing different modes in the communication system, but the mode division multiplexing does not separate the conversion of the modes. The traditional mode conversion device is mainly realized by a block optical device, an optical fiber and an optical waveguide, the devices need strict processing and arrangement, and simultaneously can introduce great insertion loss, and the traditional mode conversion device also has the defects of overlarge size, small working bandwidth, lack of flexibility in device functions and the like.
Most importantly, most designs are based on silicon-based photonic devices and work in the near infrared band, but besides silicon, chalcogenide materials are also one of important platforms for integrated photonics, limited by the transparent window of quartz fibers, the gain spectrum of erbium-doped fiber amplifiers and the CMOS process. Chalcogenide materials are compounds containing "chalcogenide elements" from group VI of the periodic Table of the elements, commonly referred to as S, Se and Te. Compared with silicon materials, the chalcogenide materials have important application values in optical communication, medical treatment and defense industries due to the characteristics of multiple photosensitivity, wide infrared window and high optical nonlinearity. Due to the appearance of broadband hollow fibers and thulium-doped fiber amplifiers, mid-infrared communication becomes a hot spot of current research, chalcogenide materials have a very wide transparent window in the mid-infrared, and the preparation of a sulfur-based photonic device is compatible with the current CMOS process, but for the sulfur-based photonic device, since the refractive index of chalcogenide glass is smaller than that of silicon, the device structure is larger than that of silicon, the increase of the operating wavelength also brings about the increase of the mode field area and more mode field leakage, which all make the sulfur-based photonic device challenging.

The design of the present invention is one of the important components of an on-chip optical communication system. Because the traditional mode conversion device is mainly realized by a block optical device, an optical fiber and an optical waveguide, the devices need strict processing and arrangement, and simultaneously introduce great insertion loss, and simultaneously face the defects of too large size, small working bandwidth, lack of flexibility of device functions and the like, the miniaturization of the device structure cannot be realized, the integration is not facilitated, meanwhile, all the designs are based on a silicon-based photonic device and work in a near infrared band, and the design of the mode conversion device is blank in a middle infrared band taking 2025 nanometers as a central wavelength.

In order for the device to realize mode conversion in a broadband with a central wavelength of 2025nm, the objective function needs to satisfy a certain relationship. When the input signal mode is the TE0 mode, it should be completely converted into the TE1 mode, and output from the signal output waveguide, i.e. the FOM should approach 1.
