Description

Wavelength-insensitive non-uniform Y-branch optical splitter and design method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of fiber-to-the-home optical distribution devices, and particularly relates to a wavelength insensitive non-uniform Y-branch optical splitter and a design method thereof.
Background
With the rapid development of triple-play and Fiber To The Home (FTTH), optical splitters are receiving more and more attention as key devices of a Passive Optical Network (PON) in an FTTH solution. The increasing availability of fiber access and other network infrastructure has driven increasing demand for bandwidth from users. This requires ensuring that stable large bandwidths are ubiquitous and connected as needed. In practical applications, the required optical signal power may vary and change from time to time due to differences in the number of subscribers and the distance from the subscribers to the Optical Line Terminal (OLT). This requires that the optical power distribution device achieve non-uniform optical power distribution.
The traditional planar optical waveguide splitter structure shows wavelength sensitivity when non-uniform power distribution is carried out on input light, and particularly shows that the large difference exists between the splitting proportion and the Insertion Loss (IL) of different wavelengths of light, namely the wavelength-dependent loss (WDL) of a device is large, so that the application of the non-uniform optical splitter to a wide spectrum in an optical communication system cannot be realized.
Disclosure of Invention
Aiming at the technical problem that a traditional planar waveguide non-uniform splitting optical splitter WDL is large, the invention provides a wavelength-insensitive non-uniform splitting Y-branch optical splitter and a design method thereof, and aims to achieve the purposes of non-uniform distribution of optical power in any proportion and reduction of WDL.
In order to achieve the purpose, the technical scheme of the invention is realized as follows:
a design method of a wavelength insensitive non-uniform splitting Y-branch optical splitter comprises the following steps:
step 1: root of herbaceous plantDetermining core layer material and refractive index n of non-equipartition Y-branch waveguide according to actual process conditions 1 And cladding material and refractive index n 2 And the relative refractive index difference Δ n between the cladding layer and the core layer is expressed as:
Figure BDA0003861554660000011
and 2, step: and (3) simulating the single-mode transmission condition of the waveguide by using simulation software according to the waveguide material and refractive index selected in the step (1), thereby obtaining reasonable values of the width (width) and the thickness (height) of the input waveguide.
And 3, step 3: simulating the change of waveguide transmission loss along with the bending radius by using a three-dimensional beam propagation method according to the waveguide size determined in the step 2, and evaluating a reasonable bending radius from a simulation result;
and 4, step 4: determining the value of gap between output waveguides according to the actual photoetching process level and process repeatability, and selecting the minimum gap value as far as possible under the condition of repeatable process;
preferably, the width and thickness of the input waveguide are equal to each other and are 5-8.2 μm, the thicknesses of the widened waveguide, the transition straight waveguide and the output waveguide are equal to the thickness of the input waveguide, the bending radii of the output waveguide I and the output waveguide II are 15000-20000 μm, and the gap between the output waveguide I and the output waveguide II is 0-3 μm.
And 5: and (3) according to the parameters of the waveguide material, the refractive index, the size, the bending radius and the like determined in the steps 1-4, modeling the non-uniform Y-branch structure in Rsoft simulation software according to the figure 1. In order to realize the non-uniform effect of the optical power, the widths of the output waveguide I and the output waveguide II are required to be unequal. Introducing a waveguide width adjusting parameter Add, and setting the width W1= width + Add of the output waveguide I and the width W2= width-Add of the output waveguide 2. The larger the absolute value of Add is, the larger the output power difference between the two output optical waveguides is, and when Add is 0, the splitting ratio is 1.
And (3) simulating to obtain output optical powers Pout1 and Pout2 of the two output waveguides under the required working wavelength by using a three-dimensional beam propagation method (wherein the output optical power of the narrow output waveguide is less, and the output optical power of the wide output waveguide is more), and calculating the splitting ratio (Pout 1: pout 2). And changing the splitting ratio by changing the value of the Add, scanning the Add and determining the value of the Add according to the splitting ratio to be realized. Preferably, the scanning range by the three-dimensional beam propagation method is 0-Add-width.
Step 6: in order to achieve consistent matching and coupling efficiency between the optical field in the transition waveguide and the optical field in the output waveguide at different wavelengths, it is necessary to optimize the lateral relative positions of the transition waveguide and the output waveguide, i.e., to optimize the spacings EW1 and EW2 between the outside of the output waveguide and the outside of the transition waveguide, thereby reducing WDL. EW1 is the distance between the outer edge of the output waveguide I and the edge of the transition straight waveguide where the output waveguide I is located; EW2 is the distance between the outer edge of the output waveguide II and the edge of the transition straight waveguide where it is located.
Scanning EW1 and EW2, and simulating by using a three-dimensional beam propagation method to obtain output optical powers Pout1 and Pout2 of the two output waveguides at the required operating wavelength. And then the insertion losses IL1 and IL2, the wavelength dependent losses WDL1 and WDL2 and the maximum wavelength dependent loss WDLmax of the two output ends are respectively calculated. The calculation formula is as follows:
Figure BDA0003861554660000021
WDL=max(IL(λ1,IL(λ2),...,IL(λn))-min(IL(λ1),IL(λ2),...,il(λn))
WDLmax=max(WDL1,WDL2)
wherein λ 1, λ 2,. And λ n are optical wavelengths, and Pin is input optical power;

preferably, the scanning range by the three-dimensional beam propagation method is-2 mu m & lt EW1 & lt 2 mu m & lt, -2 mu m & lt EW2 & lt 2 mu m.

All waveguides are height thick. The interval between the output waveguide I and the output waveguide II is gap. The relative distance between the left edge of the transition straight waveguide and the left edge of the narrow output waveguide is EW1 (extra width 1), and the relative distance between the right edge of the transition straight waveguide and the right edge of the wide output waveguide is EW2 (extra width 2). EW1 and EW2 being positive means that the transition waveguide edge is outside the corresponding output waveguide edge, whereas EW1 and EW2 being negative means that the transition waveguide edge is inside the corresponding output waveguide edge (as shown in fig. 1, EW1 is negative and EW2 is positive).
A multi-level equipartition Y-branch structure or a non-equipartition Y-branch structure in the invention can be cascaded behind the output waveguide I and the output waveguide II, and a 1 xN non-equipartition optical splitter structure can be realized, so that each path of output power meets the use requirement.
The invention has the beneficial effects that: the invention controls the width W of the output waveguide I 1 And width W of output waveguide II 2 The non-uniform distribution effect of the optical power is realized, and the non-uniform distribution of the optical power in any proportion can be realized. Wherein the narrower output waveguides distribute less optical power and the wider output waveguides distribute more optical power. By optimizing the transverse relative position of the transition waveguide and the output waveguide, namely optimizing the intervals EW1 and EW2 between the outer side of the output waveguide and the outer side of the transition waveguide, the matching degree and the coupling efficiency of the optical field in the transition waveguide and the output waveguide at different wavelengths are improved, and the WDL is reduced.

Example 2
A design method of a wavelength insensitive non-equipartition Y-branch optical splitter comprises the following steps:
step 1: determining the core layer material and refractive index n of the non-uniform Y-branch waveguide according to the actual process conditions 1 And cladding material and refractive index n 2 Relative refractive index difference Deltan of cladding and coreShown as follows:
Figure BDA0003861554660000041
the core layer is made of silicon dioxide (SiO) 2 ) The refractive index of the cladding material is n _ SiO 2 The refractive index of the core layer material is (1 + 0.45%) × n _ SiO2, and the relative refractive index difference Δ n =0.45%;
in some embodiments, the core and cladding materials of the waveguide material may also be silicon, indium phosphide, gallium arsenide, or lithium niobate, among others.
And 2, step: and (3) simulating the single-mode transmission condition of the waveguide by using simulation software according to the waveguide material and refractive index selected in the step (1), thereby obtaining reasonable values of the width (width) and the thickness (height) of the input waveguide (1).
As shown in fig. 2, it can be seen from fig. 2 that a high-order mode occurs when the width and thickness of the waveguide are 8.2 μm, that is, the single-mode cutoff condition is 8.2 μm under the material selection condition of step 1, and it can be considered that the light transmission satisfies the single-mode condition when the width and thickness of the waveguide are less than 8.2 μm. In this embodiment, the width and height of the input waveguide 1 are set to 6.5 μm (the width and height of the waveguide are reasonable values between 60% and 100% of the single-mode cutoff size).
And 3, step 3: simulating the change of waveguide transmission loss along with the bending radius by using a three-dimensional beam propagation method according to the waveguide size determined in the step 2, and evaluating a reasonable bending radius from a simulation result;
the simulation structure is shown in fig. 3, and it can be seen from fig. 3 that when the bending radius is larger than 15000 μm, the transmission loss of the waveguide does not change obviously with the increase of the bending radius, and meanwhile, in order to make the splitter more compact, the more reasonable bending radius value range is 15000-20000 μm, the bending radius value of this embodiment is 15000 μm;
and 4, step 4: determining the value of the gap between the output waveguide I and the output waveguide II according to the actual photoetching process level and the process repeatability, and selecting the minimum gap value as far as possible under the condition of repeatable process;
the gap value is reasonable between 0 and 3 μm, and the gap value is 1.5 μm in this embodiment.
And 5: and (3) according to the parameters of the waveguide material, the refractive index, the size, the bending radius and the like determined in the steps 1-4, modeling the non-uniform Y-branch structure in Rsoft simulation software according to the figure 1. In order to realize the non-uniform effect of the optical power, the widths of the output waveguide I and the output waveguide II are required to be unequal. Introducing a waveguide width adjusting parameter Add, and setting the width W of an output waveguide I 1 width-Add and width W of the output optical waveguide 2 2 = width + Add. The larger the absolute value of Add is, the larger the difference in output power between the two output optical waveguides is, and when Add is 0, the widths of the two output optical waveguides are equal, and the splitting ratio is 1.
And (3) obtaining output optical powers Pout1 and Pout2 of the two output waveguides under the required working wavelength by using a three-dimensional beam propagation method in a simulation manner (wherein the output optical power of the narrow output waveguide is less, and the output optical power of the wide output waveguide is more), and calculating the splitting ratio (Pout 1: pout 2). And changing the splitting ratio by changing the value of the Add, scanning the Add and determining the value of the Add according to the splitting ratio to be realized.
In this embodiment, the scan range of Add is 0 or more and 4 or less, the simulation result is as shown in fig. 4, and the simulation operating wavelengths are 1250, 1350, 1450, 1550, and 1650nm, and it can be seen from fig. 4 that as Add increases, the output power of the output waveguide i gradually decreases, and the output power of the output waveguide ii gradually increases. When the Add value is 0.65 μm, the splitting ratio of the Y branch is closer to 40% to 60%; when the Add value is 1.55 mu m, the splitting ratio of the Y branch is closer to 25 percent to 75 percent; when the Add value is 2.75 mu m, the splitting ratio of the Y branch is closer to 10 percent to 90 percent.
Step 6: in order to make the optical field in the transition waveguide and the optical field in the output waveguide 4 have consistent matching degree and coupling efficiency at different wavelengths, it is necessary to optimize the transverse relative positions of the transition waveguide and the output waveguide 4, i.e., the distances EW1 and EW2 between the outer sides of the output waveguide i and the output waveguide ii and the outer side of the transition waveguide, so as to reduce WDL.
Scanning EW1 and EW2, and simulating by using a three-dimensional beam propagation method to obtain output optical powers Pout1 and Pout2 of the two output waveguides at the required working wavelength. And then, the insertion losses IL1 and IL2, the wavelength dependent losses WDL1 and WDL2 and the maximum wavelength dependent loss WDLmax of the two output ends are calculated respectively. The calculation formula is as follows:
Figure BDA0003861554660000051
WDL=max(IL(λ1),IL(λ2),...,IL(λn))-min(IL(λ1),IL(λ2),...,IL(λn))
WDLmax=max(WDL1,WDL2)
wherein λ 1, λ 2,. And λ n are optical wavelengths, and Pin is input optical power;
selecting EW1 and EW2 values with the minimum WDLmax as waveguide structure parameters to reduce WDL of two paths of output waveguides;
the EW1 and EW2 were scanned in the range of-2 to 2 μm, and the simulation results are shown in FIG. 5, from which it can be seen that the optimum EW1 and EW2 values are (0.6 μm,1.6 μm), (-0.8 μm,0.8 μm) and (-1.4 μm,0.2 μm) in the three cases of the split ratios 40%:60%, 25%:75% and 10%:90%.
Example 3
As shown in fig. 6, in this embodiment, the splitting ratio of a cascade-sharing 1x4 optical splitter (2-stage 1x 2-sharing optical splitter) after a low-power output waveguide i is 75%, and a cascade-sharing 1x5 optical splitter (the sum of CH2 to 5 output powers is 25%, and the ratio of CH1 output power is 75%) is 25%.
Preparation of a 1x5 non-uniform optical splitter: the broad-spectrum 1x5 non-uniform optical splitter in the embodiment is manufactured by adopting a planar optical waveguide manufacturing process combining technologies such as photoetching, etching, plasma vapor deposition and the like, and finally, the smooth coupling end face with the inclination of 8 degrees is obtained through cutting, grinding and polishing. This example was tested using a five-wavelength fully automated coupling test system (test wavelengths 1270, 1310, 1490, 1550 and 1625 nm) and the IL test results are shown in fig. 7. The maximum WDL for 5 channels was calculated from the test data to be 0.313dB.
