Description

Polarizer based on guided wave resonance
Technical field
Involved in the present invention is a kind of polarizer that produces polarized light, and particularly a kind of polarizer of the high polarization extinction ratio based on the guided wave resonance of lengthening in the prism belongs to photoelectron communication and optical information processing field.
Background technology
Recent two decades comes, and along with the particularly development of optical communication technique of laser technology, the research and the application of optical polarization device have obtained significant progress.Wherein, the most commonly utilize the birefringence effect in the crystal and polarizer that the bonding birefringent prism method that adopts is made, and such device uses widely in practice, also more to its report.By literature search, find that the patent No. is that 5,440,424 United States Patent (USP) has proposed a kind of polarizer that utilizes bonding birefringent prism to make.In this device, altogether bonding seven birefringent prisms are to realize its function.At first, because the effect of birefringence effect, first prism be to the refractive index difference of two kinds of polarized components of incident laser light beam, thereby make their directions of propagation in prism disconnected from each other.The effect of follow-up birefringent prism has nothing in common with each other.The second fast prism expands the fractional dose of two kinds of polarized components to a certain degree to; The 3rd prism makes these two polarized components produce differing of half wavelength, thereby makes the polarization direction of two components become the same; Ensuing four prisms make up in a particular manner, realize these two components are coupled to together again, and the laser beam that becomes a branch of single polarization penetrates prism, has realized the polarization of laser.
This device can rise partially laser beam, and reaches higher degree of polarization (usually, this device can reach the above polarization extinction ratio of 40dB).Close with this device, other also polarizer of more simple bonding prism more commonly used also has Lip river breast (Rochon) prism, Wollaston (Wollaston) prism, Nicol (Nicol) prism and other Glan class (Glan-type) prism etc.But because in the structure of this bonding prism, the processing of prism and optical axis orientation are very complicated, accuracy requirement is very high, for example, usually require the cut surface of prism will be parallel to the optical axis of crystal fully, and in the bonding prism, what the angle between its two relative faces need be processed is very accurate to guarantee that its difference is that a specific constant is to satisfy the optimization of birefringence effect, two prisms are also noted that when bonding that its relative optical axis wants complete quadrature or parallel, want optical axis parallel fully or vertical and crystal during light beam incident.And that these require to be difficult to usually in the machining of reality and optical application is satisfied fully, and the performance of device is decreased.In addition, the designing requirement light beam of some prism is from some incident of prism, and if with the contrary turnback (this is common occurrence in optical application) of light path, the performance of device has bigger difference in the time of will be with forward entrance.In addition, materials such as the bonding common use canada balsam of two prisms, and the absorption of these materials has also limited the range of application of this class device greatly.
Summary of the invention
The objective of the invention is to overcome deficiency of the prior art, a kind of polarizer based on guided wave resonance is provided, lengthening prism by bottom surface metal-plated membrane successively and dielectric film excites guided wave to resonate to realize the polarization of laser, and resonate by the repeatedly guided wave that lengthening excites in the prism and to reach higher polarization extinction ratio, thereby make outgoing beam reach very high degree of polarization, can select the light beam of different polarization direction (P ripple or S ripple) as output simultaneously; Polarizer of the present invention has less insertion loss, and the performance of polarizer and optical direction are irrelevant, and promptly the performance in the forward and reverse logical light time is identical, and this polarizer has characteristic simple to operate, that be convenient to encapsulate.
The present invention is achieved by the following technical solutions, polarizer of the present invention is made of lengthening prism, bottom surface metal film, dielectric film and anti-reflection film (), (two), lengthening prism, bottom surface metal film, dielectric film from top to bottom are provided with, anti-reflection film (one), (two) are plated on two sides of lengthening prism, bottom surface metal film and dielectric film form single face metal-cladding waveguide structure, dielectric film is a ducting layer, and the bottom surface metal film is a clad.Import and export fibre-optical splice (), (two), (three) and (four) and laser beam is imported or derives polarizer, wherein, fibre-optical splice (one), (two) are with respect to lengthening prism symmetry, fibre-optical splice (three), (four) are with respect to lengthening prism symmetry, its incident angle is respectively α and β, and respectively perpendicular to two planes on the every flank side surface of lengthening prism, extend thus prism, bottom surface metal film and dielectric film forms the attenuated total reflection structure, from fibre-optical splice (once), the guided wave that laser beam excited of (three) incident propagates dielectric film.
The lengthening prism can adopt high index prism (1.4<n<3.0) device, the material of lengthening prism can be selected optical glass having high refractive index or crystalline material, the shape of lengthening prism can be determined according to actual needs, make the incident laser light beam that the repeatedly internal reflection of (more than twice or twice) take place on its bottom surface, its plane of incidence can be selected other common or special shapes such as plane, the face of cylinder, sphere, and incident angle should be operated near the guided wave resonance angle.
Be coated with anti-reflection film on the incident of lengthening prism and the exit facet, insert loss to reduce polarizer.The incident of lengthening prism and exit facet are if adopt the folding face, then should make two plane respectively perpendicular to the incident beam that can excite the resonance of S ripple (its direction of vibration is perpendicular to the plane of incidence) or P ripple (its direction of vibration is parallel to the plane of incidence) guided wave, promptly should make these two planes that the inclination angle of bottom surface is equaled S ripple or P waveguide ripple resonance angle respectively.
The bottom surface metal film generally can be selected for use operation wavelength (can see infrared light frequently) is absorbed less metal.Dielectric constant of metal ε=ε r+ i ε iRelevant with operation wavelength, and the thickness of bottom surface metal film makes the guided wave resonance absorption the strongest.Metal species can be selected the less metal of specific inductive capacity imaginary part in operating wavelength range such as silver, gold, aluminium, copper.Generally require its real part of permittivity ε r≤-8.0, specific inductive capacity imaginary part ε i≤ 15.0.The thickness of bottom surface metal film is plated on the bottom surface of lengthening prism between 15nm~60nm.
