All the modulation holes 6 in the modulation unit 5 have the same specific cross-sectional shape, which is an example of an ellipse in fig. 1 in this embodiment. All the modulation holes 6 are arranged in an array according to the size gradient sequence of the structural parameters to form a two-dimensional graph structure. In the two-dimensional graph structure, all the modulation holes 6 are arranged in an array, and all the modulation holes 6 are arranged row by row and column by column according to the length of the long axis, the length of the short axis and the rotation angle from small to large, so that all the modulation holes 6 integrally form a modulation unit 5 on the bottom plate of the light modulation layer 1.

The effect of the modulation of light of different wavelengths by each modulation cell 5 may be determined according to the characteristics of the structural parameters of the modulation aperture 6 in that modulation cell 5.
It is understood that the specific cross-sectional shape of the modulation hole 6 includes a circle, an ellipse, a cross, a regular polygon, a star, a rectangle, etc., and any combination of the above shapes may be used. Correspondingly, the structural parameters of the modulation hole 6 include an inner diameter, a length of a long axis, a length of a short axis, a rotation angle, an angle number or a side length, and the like.
In this embodiment, the thickness of the bottom plate of the light modulation layer 1 is 60nm to 1200nm, and the light modulation layer 1 and the photodetection layer 2 are directly connected or connected through the transparent dielectric layer 4. The photoelectric detection layer 2 is electrically connected with the signal processing circuit layer 3. As shown in fig. 3, all the modulation holes 6 on the optical detection layer are elliptical, the lengths of the major axes and the minor axes of all the elliptical modulation holes 6 are respectively increased row by row, and the horizontal direction in fig. 3 is taken as the horizontal axis, and the vertical direction is taken as the vertical axis, so that all the elliptical modulation holes 6 rotate row by row from the vertical axis to the horizontal axis, and the rotation angle thereof is gradually increased. All the modulation holes 6 constitute an integral two-dimensional pattern structure which is integrally a matrix structure having an area in the range of 5 μm2~4cm2
In the manufacturing of the optical modulation micro-nano structure, silicon-based materials are selected as the materials of the optical modulation layer 1 and the photoelectric detection layer 2, so that the optical modulation micro-nano structure has good compatibility in the processing of the preparation process. When the light modulation layer 1 is prepared, the light modulation layer 1 may be directly formed on the photodetection layer 2, or the prepared light modulation layer 1 may be transferred to the photodetection layer 2.
Specifically, the direct generation method of the light modulation layer 1 specifically includes: directly depositing and generating a light modulation layer 1 arranged according to the structure shown in fig. 3 on the photoelectric detection layer 2; or a substrate made of a silicon-based material is mounted on the photoelectric detection layer 2, and then micro-nano machining is performed on the substrate according to the structure shown in fig. 3, so that the light modulation layer 1 is obtained.

And secondly, drawing a required two-dimensional graph structure on the graph by using a graph transfer method such as photoetching, electron beam exposure and the like, wherein the structure is shown as figure 3. The two-dimensional graph structure specifically comprises: only the minor axis and the rotation angle of the elliptical modulation hole 6 are gradually adjusted, and the major axis of the ellipse is selected from a fixed value of 200 nm-1000 nm, such as 500 nm; the length of the minor axis varies within a range of 120nm to 500nm, the rotation angle of the ellipse varies within a range of 0 to 90 DEG, and the arrangement period of the ellipse is a constant value within a range of 200nm to 1000nm, for example, 500 nm. The overall pattern range of the two-dimensional pattern structure is about a rectangular array structure with a length of 115 μm and a width of 110 μm. And thirdly, etching the silicon flat plate by methods such as reactive ion etching, inductively coupled plasma etching, ion beam etching and the like to obtain the required light modulation layer 1. Finally, the light modulation layer 1 and the photodetection layer 2 are electrically connected to the signal processing circuit layer 3 as a whole.
Further, this embodiment provides a preparation process of another photomodulated micro-nano structure, which specifically includes: and a III-V group detector, specifically a GaAs/InGaAs quantum well detector, is arranged in the photoelectric detection layer 2. As shown in fig. 16, a detector comprising a GaAs substrate 1' and an InGaAs quantum well photodetection layer 2 is flip-chip bonded on a CMOS circuit. As shown in fig. 17, the substrate 1 'is directly thinned, and then micro-nano processing is performed on the substrate 1' to form a two-dimensional pattern structure, thereby forming the light modulation layer 1. The difference between the preparation process and the micro-nano processing tapping is that the upper surface of a photoelectric detection layer 2 consisting of a detector is directly used as a substrate 1' for Weiner processing, so that the tight connection between the processed and prepared light modulation layer 1 and the photoelectric detection layer 2 is ensured, and the effect of light modulation effect influenced by gaps is avoided.
The transfer preparation method of the light modulation layer 1 specifically includes: firstly, a hole is formed on a substrate through micro-nano processing according to the structure shown in fig. 3 to obtain a prepared light modulation layer 1, and then the prepared light modulation layer 1 is transferred to a photoelectric detection layer 2. Specifically, the process of the transfer method of the light modulation layer 1 is: firstly, preparing the light modulation layer 1 on a silicon chip or an SOI (silicon-on-insulator-silicon chip) according to the parameters, then transferring the light modulation layer 1 to the photoelectric detection layer 2 by a transferring method, and finally electrically connecting the light modulation layer 1 and the photoelectric detection layer 2 to the signal processing circuit layer 3.
It can be understood that the light modulation micro-nano structure capable of modulating light according to the embodiment includes, but is not limited to, one-dimensional, two-dimensional photonic crystals, surface plasmons, metamaterials, and super surfaces. Specific materials may include silicon, germanium, silicon germanium materials, compounds of silicon, compounds of germanium, metals, group III-V materials, and the like. Wherein the silicon compound includes, but is not limited to, silicon nitride, silicon dioxide, silicon carbide, and the like. The light-transmitting layer material may include a material with a low refractive index such as silicon dioxide and a high molecular polymer. The photoelectric detector can be selected from a silicon detector (the detection range is 780 nm-1100 nm), a III-V semiconductor (such as InGaAs/InAlAs and GaAs/AlGaAs) detector (the detection range is 1000 nm-2600 nm), an antimonide (such as InSb) detector (the detection range is 1 mu m-6.5 mu m), an HgCdTe detector (the detection range is 0.7-25 mu m) and the like.
The embodiment also provides a micro-integrated spectrometer. As shown in fig. 1, the micro-integrated spectrometer includes the above-mentioned optical modulation micro-nano structure, a photoelectric detection layer 2 and a signal processing circuit. The light modulation micro-nano structure, the photoelectric detection layer 2 and the signal processing circuit are vertically connected from top to bottom and are mutually parallel. The light modulation micro-nano structure is used for carrying out light modulation on incident light to obtain a modulated spectrum; the photoelectric detection layer 2 is used for receiving the modulated spectrum and providing differential response to the modulated spectrum; the signal processing circuit layer 3 is used for processing the differential response based on an algorithm so as to reconstruct and obtain an original spectrum.
The light modulation micro-nano structure described in this embodiment is as described above, and is not described herein again. The photodetection layer 2 according to the present embodiment is shown in fig. 2 and 4. The photoelectric detection layer 2 comprises a plurality of detection units 7, each detection unit 7 in the photoelectric detection layer 2 is provided with at least one photoelectric detector, and the detection range of each photoelectric detector is slightly larger than the structural range of the modulation hole 6. The photoelectric detection layer 2 of an array structure consisting of a plurality of detection units 7 can transmit detected signals to the signal processing circuit layer 3 through electric contacts.
In this embodiment, a plurality of modulation holes 6 may correspond to one detection unit 7 at the same time, or each modulation hole 6 may correspond to one or more detection units 7, that is, each modulation unit 5 corresponds to one or more detection units 7 in the vertical direction, so that it is only necessary that at least one modulation hole 6 corresponds to at least one detection unit 7 in the same modulation unit 5. This structural arrangement ensures that the modulation unit 5 can always modulate incident light of at least one wavelength and that the modulated light can be received by the detection unit 7. In order to prevent the detection units 7 from interfering with each other during operation, a gap 8 is preferably left between two adjacent detection units 7.
The signal processing circuit layer 3 described in this embodiment is provided with an algorithm processing system, and the algorithm processing system can process the differential response based on an algorithm to reconstruct and obtain the original spectrum.
The micro-nano spectrum structure and the micro-integrated spectrometer described in this embodiment have a complete process for spectrum detection: first, when a spectrum is vertically incident from above the light modulation layer 1 and passes through the light modulation micro-nano structure, different response spectra are obtained in different modulation units 5 through modulation of the light modulation layer 1. The modulated response spectra are respectively irradiated onto the photodetection layer 2, and then the response spectra received by the correspondingly arranged detection units 7 are different, so as to obtain differential responses, where the differential responses are obtained by calculating differences between signals of the response spectra obtained by modulating the modulation units 5 respectively. Finally, the signal processing circuit layer 3 processes the differential response by using an algorithm processing system, so that the original spectrum is obtained through reconstruction. The reconstruction process is implemented by a data processing module that includes spectral data preprocessing and a data prediction model. The spectral data preprocessing refers to preprocessing noise existing in the obtained differential response data, and the processing methods adopted in the spectral data preprocessing include, but are not limited to, fourier transform, differentiation, wavelet transform and the like. The data prediction model includes the prediction of blood glucose parameters related to blood glucose concentration and the like obtained from the spectral data information, and the algorithms used by the data prediction model include, but are not limited to, a least square method, a principal component analysis and an artificial neural network.
Fig. 5 shows the spectral analysis effect of the optical modulation micro-nano structure and the spectrometer during the spectral analysis, which are actually prepared according to the above embodiment. As shown in FIG. 5, the micro-nano structure can realize the detection of the spectrum with the spectral range from 600nm to 800nm and the spectral width of 200nm, and achieves the effect of more than 95.1% of the spectral measurement accuracy.
Example two
The structure, principle, spectrum modulation method and preparation method of the light modulation micro-nano structure and the micro-integrated spectrometer described in the second embodiment are basically the same as those of the first embodiment, and the details of the same parts are omitted. The difference lies in that:
as shown in fig. 6, in the micro-nano structure according to this embodiment, an integral modulation unit 5 is disposed on the light modulation layer 1. The modulation holes 6 in the two-dimensional pattern structure provided in the modulation unit 5 have respective specific cross-sectional shapes, and the modulation holes 6 are freely combined and arranged in accordance with the specific cross-sectional shapes. Specifically, in the two-dimensional pattern structure, the specific cross-sectional shapes of some of the modulation holes 6 are the same, the modulation holes 6 having the same specific cross-sectional shape constitute a plurality of modulation hole 6 groups, the specific cross-sectional shapes of the modulation hole 6 groups are different from each other, and all the modulation holes 6 are freely combined.
It can be understood that the modulation unit 5 can be regarded as a modulation unit for a specific wavelength spectrum as a whole, and can be freely divided into a plurality of modulation holes 6, so that the modulation unit can be used for modulating a plurality of different wavelength spectrums, and the flexibility and diversity of light modulation can be increased.
EXAMPLE III
The structure, principle, spectrum modulation method and preparation method of the light modulation micro-nano structure and the micro-integrated spectrometer described in the third embodiment are basically the same as those of the second embodiment, and the details of the same parts are not repeated. The difference lies in that:
as shown in fig. 7 and 8, two or more modulation cells 5 are arranged on the light modulation layer 1 of the light modulation micro-nano structure of the present embodiment. In each modulation unit 5, when the modulation holes 6 are arranged in combination according to a specific cross-sectional shape, the arrangement order is arranged row by row or column by column according to a preset periodic order.
In the present embodiment, all the modulation holes 6 are divided into a plurality of modulation units 5 according to a specific cross-sectional shape, and the specific cross-sectional shapes of the modulation holes 6 in the respective modulation units 5 are different from each other. The modulation holes 6 in the same modulation unit 5 have the same specific cross-sectional shape, but the arrangement sequence of the modulation holes 6 is arranged in an array according to the size gradient sequence of the structural parameters. So that each modulation unit 5 has a different modulation effect and can modulate for different wavelength spectra. The modulation action and/or modulation object of the current modulation unit 5 can be changed by changing the gradient sequence of the structure parameters of the modulation holes 6 in the modulation unit 5 and/or the specific section shape of the modulation holes 6 according to the modulation requirement.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 9, three modulation units 5, namely a first modulation unit 11, a second modulation unit 12, and a third modulation unit 13, are distributed on the bottom plate of the light modulation layer 1. The modulation holes 6 in the first modulation unit 11 are all circular, the structural parameters of each modulation hole 6 are the same, and the first modulation unit 11 has a first modulation mode for the input spectrum; the modulation holes 6 in the second modulation unit 12 are all oval, each modulation hole 6 is arranged periodically and line by line according to the size of the structural parameter, that is, the horizontal oval modulation holes 6 and the vertical oval modulation holes 6 are staggered line by line, and the second modulation unit 12 has a second modulation mode for the input spectrum; the modulation holes 6 in the third modulation unit 13 are all rhombus, and each modulation hole 6 is arranged periodically row by row and column by column according to the size of the structural parameter, that is, the horizontally arranged rhombus modulation holes 6 and the vertically arranged rhombus modulation holes 6 are staggered row by row, and simultaneously, the horizontally arranged rhombus modulation holes 6 and the vertically arranged rhombus modulation holes 6 are staggered column by column, so that the third modulation unit 13 has a third modulation mode for the input spectrum.
It is understood that the "some modulation of light with different wavelengths" described in this embodiment may include, but is not limited to, scattering, absorption, transmission, reflection, interference, surface plasmon, resonance, and the like. The first, second and third light modulation modes are distinguished from each other. By arranging the structure of the modulation holes 6 in the modulation units 5, the difference of spectral response between different units can be improved, and the sensitivity of the difference between different spectrums can be improved by increasing the number of units.
It can be understood that, when measuring for different incident spectra, the modulation effect can be changed by changing the structural parameters of the modulation holes 6 in each modulation unit 5, and the change of the structural parameters includes but is not limited to one of the parameters of the micro-nano structure period, the radius, the side length, the duty ratio, the thickness and the like and any combination thereof.
It can be understood that the micro-integrated spectrometer described in this embodiment may use the modulation unit 5 described in the first embodiment, the modulation unit 5 described in the second embodiment, or a combination of the modulation units 5 described in the first and second embodiments.
In this embodiment, the light modulation layer 1 is made of a silicon nitride plate having a thickness of 200nm to 500 nm. The light modulation layer 1 is provided with 100 to 200 modulation units 5 in total, and each modulation unit 5 has a length of 4 to 60 μm and a width of 4 to 60 μm. Various geometric shapes are selected in each modulation unit 5 to be used as the specific section shapes of the modulation holes 6, the modulation units 5 are periodically arranged in the same shape, and the duty ratio is 10% -90%. The remaining structure is the same as in example 1 or example 2.

The micro-nano modulation structure described in this embodiment is mainly used for detecting a single-wavelength spectrum, the effect of the wavelength intensity relationship is shown in fig. 10, the error between the measured spectrum and the center wavelength of the actual spectrum is less than 0.4nm, the detection effect is shown in fig. 11, and the accuracy of the light intensity is more than 99.89%.

as shown in fig. 12, the micro integrated spectrometer according to the fourth embodiment further includes a transparent medium layer 4, and the transparent medium layer 4 is located between the light modulation micro-nano structure and the photodetection layer 2. Specifically, the thickness of the light-transmitting medium layer 4 is 50nm to 1 μm, and the material may be silicon dioxide.
In the micro-integrated spectrometer described in this embodiment, if a process scheme of direct deposition growth is adopted when the light modulation layer 1 is prepared, the light-transmitting dielectric layer 4 may be covered on the spectrum detection layer by chemical vapor deposition, sputtering, spin coating, and the like, and then deposition and etching of the light modulation layer 1 may be performed on the light detection layer. If the transfer process scheme is adopted, the silicon dioxide can be used as a preparation substrate of the light modulation layer 1, the light modulation layer 1 is directly prepared on the upper half part of the substrate through micro-nano drilling, then the lower half part of the silicon dioxide substrate is directly used as a light-transmitting medium layer 4, and the prepared light modulation layer 1 and the prepared light-transmitting medium layer 4 are integrally transferred onto the light detection layer.
It can be understood that the light-transmitting medium layer 4 described in this embodiment can also be configured as follows: the whole light modulation micro-nano structure above the photoelectric detection layer 2 is supported by an external support structure so as to be suspended relative to the photoelectric detection layer 2, and the air part between the light modulation layer 1 and the photoelectric detection layer 2 is the light-transmitting dielectric layer 4.
EXAMPLE five
The fifth embodiment further provides an optical modulation micro-nano structure, a micro-integrated spectrometer and a spectrum modulation method based on the second embodiment. The fifth embodiment is the same as the second embodiment, and the differences are as follows:
in this embodiment, the light modulation layer 1 is made of a silicon carbide flat substrate having a thickness of 150 to 300 nm. The light modulation layer 1 has a total of 150 to 300 units each having a length of 15 to 20 μm and a width of 15 to 20 μm. The specific cross-sectional shapes of the modulation holes 6 in the same modulation unit 5 are all circular, and parameters such as the circular hole period, the hole radius and the duty ratio among the units are different. The specific parameter ranges are as follows: the period range is 180 nm-850 nm, the pore radius range is 20 nm-780 nm, and the duty ratio range is 10% -92%. At least one of the photodetection layers 2 is provided with an InGaAs detector.
The preparation process of the light modulation micro-nano structure adopts a transfer process means of firstly preparing the light modulation layer 1 and then transferring the light modulation layer to the photoelectric detection layer 2.
EXAMPLE six
Based on the structure, principle, spectrum modulation method and preparation method of the light modulation micro-nano structure and the micro-integrated spectrometer described in any embodiment, the sixth embodiment provides a light modulation micro-nano structure, a micro-integrated spectrometer and a spectrum modulation method. The same parts are not described again, and the differences are as follows:
as shown in fig. 13, in the light modulation micro-nano structure according to the seventh embodiment, each modulation hole 6 does not penetrate through the bottom plate. It can be understood that no matter whether the modulation hole 6 penetrates through the bottom plate, the modulation effect on the light modulation micro-nano structure cannot be adversely affected, because the silicon-based material or other materials selected for the light modulation layer 1 are all transparent materials, when a spectrum enters the light modulation layer 1, the modulation effect is affected by the structure of each modulation unit 5, but the bottom of the modulation hole 6 does not adversely affect the spectrum modulation.
In the light modulation micro-nano structure described in this embodiment, the thickness from the bottom of the modulation hole 6 of the light modulation layer 1 to the bottom of the base plate is 60nm to 1200nm, and the thickness of the whole base plate is 120nm to 2000 nm.
EXAMPLE seven
Based on the combination of the above embodiments, the seventh embodiment provides an optical modulation micro-nano structure, a micro-integrated spectrometer and a spectrum modulation method. The same parts are not described again, and the differences are as follows:
as shown in fig. 14 and 15, in the light modulation micro-nano structure according to the seventh embodiment, five modulation units 5, namely a first modulation unit 11, a second modulation unit 12, a third modulation unit 13, a fourth modulation unit 14, and a fifth modulation unit 15, are distributed on a bottom plate of a light modulation layer 1, where the range of the fifth modulation unit 15 is the largest, and the area of the fifth modulation unit is not less than the sum of the first four modulation units.
Specifically, the first modulation unit 11, the second modulation unit 12, the third modulation unit 13, and the fourth modulation unit 14 are arranged in a matrix as a whole, wherein the arrangement of the modulation holes 6 in the first three modulation units 11, 12, and 13 is the same as the arrangement of the modulation holes 6 described in the third embodiment, the specific cross-sectional shapes of the modulation holes 6 of the fourth modulation unit 14 and the first modulation unit 11 are the same and are both circular, but the structural parameters of the modulation holes 6 of the fourth modulation unit 14 are different from the structural parameters of the modulation holes 6 of the first modulation unit 11, specifically, the inner diameter of the modulation holes 6 of the fourth modulation unit 14 is smaller than the inner diameter of the modulation holes 6 of the first modulation unit 11, so that the fourth modulation unit 14 has a fourth modulation mode for the input spectrum. The two-dimensional pattern structure formed by the modulation holes 6 in the fifth modulation unit 15 is the same as the two-dimensional pattern structure described in the first embodiment, and the fifth modulation unit 15 has a fifth modulation mode for the input spectrum.
Therefore, in the light modulation micro-nano structure described in the seventh embodiment, by using the difference of the specific cross-sectional shapes of the different modulation holes 6 in different units and the specific arrangement manner of the modulation holes 6 in the same unit, different modulation effects on the spectra with different wavelengths are realized by changing the specific cross-sectional shapes of the modulation holes 6, the structural parameters of the modulation holes 6 and the arrangement period of the modulation holes 6.
It can be understood that, for the structures of the gradient array modulation units 5 of the first and second embodiments, the arbitrarily divided modulation units 5 have different modulation effects on the spectrum, theoretically, infinite groups of modulated spectrum samples can be obtained, thereby drastically increasing the amount of data used to reconstruct the original spectrum and facilitating the recovery of the spectrum pattern of the broadband spectrum.
With regard to the structure of the periodic modulation unit 5 in the third embodiment, the periodic structure thereof can generate two-dimensional periodic dispersion and resonance effects, and the resonance effects include, but are not limited to, the band control of the photonic crystal and the resonance of the two-dimensional grating. The accuracy of detection for a particular wavelength may be enhanced by resonance effects.
If the modulation units 5 in the above-described first, second, and third embodiments are simultaneously applied to a chip, the above-described two advantages can be combined. When the size range of the top light modulation layer is cut, the light modulation micro-nano structures of the three embodiments can be prepared into structures with micron-scale or even smaller structures, and the method has great significance for the miniaturized production and the use of the micro-integrated spectrometer; the light modulation micro-nano structure is matched with a photoelectric detection layer formed by different photoelectric detectors, so that full-waveband spectrum detection can be realized in principle, and the wide-spectrum detection performance of the spectrometer is more excellent.
In summary, the optical modulation micro-nano structure of the embodiment includes the optical modulation layer 1 located on the photoelectric detection layer 2, the optical modulation layer 1 can modulate incident light, so as to form a differential response on the photoelectric detection layer 2, so as to reconstruct and obtain an original spectrum, and the optical modulation micro-nano structure can be used for replacing various precision optical components in the existing spectrometer, thereby realizing the application type of the spectrometer in the micro-nano structure field, enabling the micro-integrated spectrometer to work without a grating, a prism, a reflector or other similar space light splitting elements, and solving the defects that the existing spectrometer is too dependent on the precision optical components to make the spectrometer bulky, heavy and expensive.
The light modulation layer 1 is provided with a two-dimensional graph structure with a specific arrangement rule by arranging the modulation holes 6 in the same modulation unit 5, the modulation effect on light with different wavelengths is realized by utilizing different two-dimensional graph structures, the modulation effect comprises but not limited to the effects of light scattering, absorption, projection, reflection, interference, surface plasmon polariton, resonance and the like, and the difference of spectral response among different regions can be improved by utilizing the difference of the two-dimensional graph structures, so that the analysis precision of the spectrometer is improved.
The problems of precise alignment and the like do not need to be considered in each modulation unit 5 in the light modulation layer 1, the spectrometer manufactured based on the light modulation micro-nano structure can ensure high precision and does not need to increase the optical path, the internal structure of the spectrometer does not need to be over-large, the micro-integrated spectrometer is more convenient to use and does not completely cause adverse effects on the precision of measurement and calculation of the spectrometer, the size of the spectrometer can be reduced to the level of a chip, the performance is stable, the cost is reduced, and the micro-integrated spectrometer can realize large-scale flow sheet production.
