Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of optical frequency combs, and particularly relates to a method and a device for generating an optical frequency comb based on a filtering effect.
Background
The rapid growth of the communications industry, accompanied by a greatly increased demand for communication capacity, is the gradual replacement of electrical interconnects that are far from meeting the user-related needs. The optical frequency comb technology based on the Kerr micro-ring resonant cavity can realize the functions of frequency domain accurate measurement, optical soliton transmission, optical communication capacity improvement and the like, and the micro-ring resonant cavity has the advantages of small enough size, very low power consumption, mature manufacturing process and the like, so that how to promote the generation of the micro-cavity optical frequency comb becomes a research hotspot in the related field. In 2007, p.del' Haye and his team published an article "Optical frequency comb generation from a monolithic micro-resonator" in the journal of Nature, which reports a generation scheme of an Optical frequency comb based on a high-Q-value kel micro-ring resonator, and the scheme utilizes the characteristics of low loss and small mode area of the high-Q-value micro-ring resonator to reduce the threshold value of nonlinear Optical effect generated in a ring, so as to obtain an Optical frequency comb with a wide wavelength range and stable comb tooth intervals, as shown in fig. 1.
In 2015, Xiaoxiao Xue and his team published in "Laser Photonics Review" this journal by an article "Normal-dispersion microcombs enabled by controllable mode interactions", which proposed a scheme of re-coupling a double-coupled microresonator of a previous ring on a ring basis, by which coupling between fundamental modes of two rings was intentionally introduced to change local dispersion, control modal interactions, so that kerr optical frequency combs could be generated in a Normal dispersion medium, generation of microcavity optical frequency combs, selection of repetition frequencies, and acquisition of mode locking were achieved by on-chip micro heaters coupled to silicon nitride microcavities. The scheme provides a reliable design for optical frequency comb generation in a normal dispersion medium, and has a promoting effect on the generation of optical frequency combs in a wavelength range mainly based on normal matter dispersion, such as a visible light range.
In 2017, Chengying Bao and his team published in Optica in this journal of Spatial mode-interaction induced single-soliton generation in microresonators, which proposed the generation of a Spatial mode coupling-induced single soliton, i.e., an optical-frequency comb, in a microcavity. The two micro-rings with the same parameters are provided experimentally, but the mode coupling strengths are different, so that the two micro-rings can easily reach a single soliton state after the mode coupling is introduced and the local dispersion is changed, and the degree of local distortion on the frequency spectrum of the ring with the high mode coupling strength is larger than that of the ring with the low mode coupling strength. In addition, they also verified in simulation that the single soliton state can be easily reached after introducing mode coupling.
In 2019, Jianxing Pan and his team published in Journal of light Technology in the article "Fundamental and Third Harmonic Mode Coupling Induced guided Single wavelength solutions Generation in Kerr resonators" which proposed a passive mechanism based on Third Harmonic Mode Coupling Induced guan optical frequency comb Generation. They verified that in the anomalous dispersion region, with appropriate coupling strengths of fundamental frequency and third harmonic and slight phase mismatch, only the detuning of the pump as continuous light needs to be simply scanned, and the balance between the phase mismatch and third harmonic coupling strengths can be obtained, ensuring the generation of deterministic solitons, and thus promoting the generation of optical frequency combs in a single soliton state.
The two methods for facilitating optical frequency comb generation from the above introduced-mode coupling are the first one in which the coupling of modes in the two ring cavities is introduced by the coupling of the two ring cavities or the coupling of different order modes in the ring, and the second one in which the generation of the optical frequency comb is facilitated by the introduction of the coupling between higher harmonics and fundamental waves in the ring. Both of these methods essentially promote the generation of the optical frequency comb in the single soliton state by the change of local dispersion caused by mode coupling, and work in the hatched coupling region shown in fig. 2(a), that is, the region of mode splitting caused by mode coupling, and the dispersion curve is similar to that shown in fig. 2(b), and the envelope of the optical frequency comb in the obtained single soliton state will also generate a certain distortion in the region where mode coupling occurs due to the influence of the change of local dispersion, as shown in fig. 3, and is not very smooth, which is not favorable for the application of the optical frequency comb.

Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the present invention is described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.
On the basis of the existing method for promoting generation of the optical frequency comb by introducing mode coupling, the invention provides a method for promoting generation of the optical frequency comb in a single soliton state based on the certainty of the filtering effect brought by two micro-ring resonant cavity coupling structures, and can promote generation of the optical frequency comb in the single soliton state with smoother envelope by the filtering effect brought by the coupling structures, thereby providing a wider direction for the application of the optical frequency comb and the research on other optical frequency combs.
Specifically, the mode coupling is introduced by adopting a mode of coupling two micro-ring resonant cavities, and a method for promoting optical frequency comb generation based on a filtering effect is provided. The method comprises the steps of firstly coupling another second micro-ring resonant cavity on the basis of a first micro-ring resonant cavity to introduce mode coupling, working the system in a shadow region (namely a coupling region) shown in a figure 2(a), namely a region where mode coupling causes mode splitting to cause local dispersion change, introducing loss with controllable size into the second micro-ring resonant cavity by adding electrodes or lighting and the like, and working the structure in a region (namely a loss region) shown in a figure 2(a), namely a region where two split modes are combined due to mode coupling, and the local dispersion change is greatly weakened or even disappeared, wherein the transmissivity of the combined coupling mode is increased to a certain extent compared with the transmissivity of the original single first micro-ring resonant cavity, namely a certain filtering effect is introduced, and the optical frequency generated in the coupling region of the figure 2(a) is coupled to the mode due to comb mode coupling The envelope of the generated optical frequency comb in the spectral line of the coupling mode local is correspondingly distorted due to the change of the near local dispersion, so that the envelope of the optical frequency comb is not smooth, and when the loss of the second micro-ring resonant cavity is increased to work in a loss region, the change of the local dispersion near the coupling mode is greatly weakened or even disappears, so that the generation of the optical frequency comb in a smoother single soliton state is promoted, wherein the distortion of the local spectral line envelope near the coupling mode corresponding to the change of the dispersion disappears in addition to the loss at the coupling mode due to the filtering effect compared with the optical frequency comb generated in the coupling region.
Compared with the current method for promoting the generation of the optical frequency comb based on the mode coupling, the method for generating the optical frequency comb based on the filter effect is invented, works in the region where the local dispersion caused by the mode coupling is weakened or even disappears, does not generate the unsmooth optical frequency comb with local envelope distortion caused by the change of the local dispersion caused by the mode coupling, promotes the generation of the optical frequency comb in a single soliton state, generates the optical frequency comb with smoother spectral line envelope, and is also very convenient to design. The optical frequency comb can realize the generation of the optical frequency comb in a deterministic and smoother enveloping single soliton state by introducing the filtering effect brought by the loss with controllable size to the second micro-ring resonant cavity on the basis of the coupling of the two micro-ring resonant cavities.
To further illustrate the method and apparatus for generating optical frequency comb based on filtering effect according to the embodiments of the present invention, reference is now made to fig. 4, fig. 5, fig. 6, fig. 7 and fig. 8, which are described in detail below with reference to specific examples:
as shown in fig. 4, the optical-frequency comb generating apparatus based on the filtering effect according to the embodiment of the present invention includes: the micro-ring resonator comprises a first micro-ring resonator 1, a straight waveguide 3 and a second micro-ring resonator 2 coupled with the first micro-ring resonator 1; by coupling and arranging the second micro-ring resonator 2 on the first micro-ring resonator 1, the device works in a coupling region shown in fig. 2(a), namely, a region with mode coupling bringing local dispersion change, and the envelope of the optical frequency comb in the generated single soliton state generates corresponding distortion at the coupling mode due to the change of the local dispersion; and then, the loss with controllable size is introduced into the second micro-ring resonant cavity 2, so that the device works in a loss region, and the local dispersion caused by mode coupling is weakened or even disappears at the moment, thereby promoting the generation of a smoother optical frequency comb in a single soliton state, wherein the optical frequency comb is used for eliminating the local spectral line envelope distortion near the coupling mode corresponding to the change of dispersion except the loss at the coupling mode caused by the introduction of the loss.
As a first embodiment of the present invention, a loss with controllable size is introduced into the second micro-ring resonator by applying an electrode or by illumination, and specifically, the structure shown in fig. 4 is fixed on a three-dimensional displacement platform, a point light source is structurally disposed, the distance between the position of the point light source and the surface of the microcavity structure is adjusted to enable the emergent light spot to fall on the second micro-ring resonator, and at this time, the second micro-ring resonator absorbs photons to generate a free carrier absorption effect, so that the loss is increased, and the amount of absorbed photons can be adjusted by adjusting the intensity of the point light source, so as to achieve the purpose of introducing the loss with controllable size.
Table 1 shows parameters of a first micro-ring resonator 1 and a second micro-ring resonator 2 in an optical frequency comb generating apparatus based on a filtering effect according to an embodiment of the present invention.
TABLE 1 structural details
In the embodiment of the invention, the effect of generating the smooth optical frequency comb in the single soliton state is obtained by constructing the double micro-ring resonant cavity coupling structure. As shown in fig. 4, the double-ring coupling structure is composed of a first micro-ring resonator 1, a coupling waveguide 3 for transmission, and a second micro-ring resonator 2 for coupling. Specific parameters of the structure are shown in table 1. After pump light is input at the input end of the waveguide, the pump light is transmitted and coupled into the first micro-ring resonant cavity 1 through the waveguide 3, and the central wavelength lambda of the pump light0At 1550nm, resonates in a ring and passes through a nonlinear sumThe dispersion effect forms equidistant frequency comb teeth in the frequency domain, the distance is determined by the free spectral range FSR of the ring, and is related to the perimeter of the micro-ring resonator, at this time, the second micro-ring resonator 2 is coupled, light is partially coupled into the second micro-ring resonator through the first micro-ring resonator, and equally spaced frequency comb teeth are also formed in the frequency domain, and since the first micro-ring resonator and the second micro-ring resonator have the same resonant frequency at the position of the 5 th mode from the pump long wavelength, namely, at the position of about 1559.117nm, the resonant modes of the two micro-ring resonators at the frequency generate mode coupling, at this time, the structure works in the shadow coupling area as shown in fig. 2(a), namely, the mode coupling causes mode splitting, and the local dispersion changes.
The expression for angular frequency is:
and the resulting modal frequency dependent dispersion curve equation ωμ-ω0-D1μ, wherein D1＝FSR，
First and second order dispersion coefficients, respectively, FSR ═ c/nL, and μ denotes the mode from the μ th of the center frequency. At this time, the dispersion curve of the structure operating in the coupling region is similar to the dispersion curve shown in fig. 2(b) based on the prior art, and although the generation of the optical-frequency comb can be promoted due to the effect of the mode coupling effect in this region, the envelope of the generated optical-frequency comb is distorted and not smooth due to the change of the dispersion in the mode-coupled region as shown in fig. 3. Therefore, the invention can increase the loss in the second micro-ring resonant cavity by using the point light source to irradiate the second micro-ring resonant cavity and utilizing the carrier absorption effect, so that the loss alpha of the second micro-ring resonant cavity is reduced2L2Enlarged to 9.4X 10-3By operating the structure in the loss region as shown in FIG. 2(a), the resulting dispersion curve is shown in FIG. 7, which shows that the dispersion curve is comparable to that of the coupling region as shown in FIG. 2(a)In the case where the mode coupling of fig. 2(b) causes a change in local dispersion, the change in local dispersion near the 5 th mode from the pump long wavelength due to the mode coupling effect disappears, and the dispersion curve becomes smooth. The present invention can obtain the transmittance of a single first micro-ring resonator at around the coupling mode 1559.117nm when the second micro-ring resonator is not coupled, as shown in fig. 5(a), and the transmittance at around 1559.117nm when the two micro-ring resonators are coupled and the second micro-ring resonator 2 is lossy, as shown in fig. 5 (b). At the same time, the effect of the field enhancement factor around the coupling mode 1559.117nm in both cases can be obtained, as shown in fig. 6. At this time, it can be seen that after the structure works in the non-shadow loss region shown in fig. 2(a) by introducing the coupling of the double micro-ring resonators and adding a certain amount of loss to the second micro-ring resonator, the transmittance at the coupling mode is increased, the field enhancement factor is reduced to below 0dB, which is equivalent to that a certain loss, that is, a filtering effect is generated at the frequency of the coupling mode in the micro-ring resonator. Unlike the prior art which uses the mode coupling effect to facilitate the generation of the optical frequency comb, the present invention can facilitate the generation of the optical frequency comb in the single soliton state by using such a filtering effect, and the generated optical frequency comb is shown in fig. 8, and the spectral envelope (shown by the dotted line in fig. 8) of the optical frequency comb in the single soliton state generated based on the filtering effect of the present invention is smoother compared to the optical frequency comb in the single soliton state generated by using the mode coupling effect of fig. 3.
Therefore, the invention can promote the generation of the optical frequency comb in the single soliton state through the filtering effect brought by the structure of coupling the two micro-ring resonant cavities, and the envelope of the generated optical frequency comb is smoother.
It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the foregoing is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the invention, and that any modification, equivalent replacement, or improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the scope of the present invention.
