Technical field
The utility model relates to integrated optics technique field, particularly relates to a kind of low-loss waveguide optical branching device.
Background technology
Along with popularizing of internet, optical branching device is to forming such as optical user network important role.Y branch waveguide, as one of important optical waveguide unit in optical integrated device, is widely used now.
But because traditional y branch waveguide structure exists patten transformation and radiation loss near take-off point, cause tandem type shunt very long and cause device architecture not compact, Branch Angle is less also proposes very high accuracy requirement to technique.The power division of traditional y branch waveguide is based on the patterns of change shown in Fig. 1 in addition, separates, just realize power dividing function along symmetric part of matrix waveguide when incident mould arrives branch's wedge angle from input waveguide due to the geometry of waveguide.But produce radiation mode because incident basic mode does not mate at branch part with outgoing symmetric mode, cause coupling loss larger.

Embodiment
Below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in conjunction with the embodiments, describe the utility model in detail.
A kind of low-loss waveguide optical branching device, as shown in Figure 2, comprises input waveguide 1, broadening waveguide 2 and output waveguide 3.
Input waveguide 1 to be input straight wave guide 11, back taper waveguide 12 and the width being 6 μm by width be single mode straight tapered waveguide that the straight wave guide 13 that narrows of 5 μm forms, the introducing of back taper waveguide 12 can filtering input end higher order mode, can also improve the homogeneity of output simultaneously and reduce signal displacement to the impact of output uniformity.
Broadening waveguide 2 is the sharp mould waveguide that the transition straight wave guide 22 being 8 μm by Waveguide With Slow-varied Cross Section 21 and width forms, and the introducing of Waveguide With Slow-varied Cross Section 21 makes the slow broadening of input light field, and necessary preparation is carried out in the beam splitting for light field; Transition straight wave guide 22 makes the waveguide of broadening more tend towards stability, and reduces consumption during beam splitting.
Output waveguide 3 is three branch-waveguides that the symmetrical width exported is 2 μm, and width sudden change place being positioned at the branch-waveguide of both sides is equipped with the transition structure 4 that can utilize mis-registry compensation, reduces coupling loss.
