- FIG. 1 A transmission perspective view of the optical waveguide according to the present embodiment is shown in FIG.
- the optical waveguide 100 includes a clad member 110 and a silicon flat optical waveguide 120.
- the clad member 110 is formed of SiO 2 or its dielectric, and a silicon flat optical waveguide 120 is disposed inside the clad member 110.
- the clad member 110 is formed, for example, by depositing SiO 2 on a silicon substrate or the like (not shown) by applying a silicon microfabrication technique.
- the silicon flat optical waveguide 120 is formed of a material having a refractive index higher than that of the clad member 110, and an optical signal propagates in the silicon flat optical waveguide 120.
- the silicon flat optical waveguide 120 according to the present embodiment is formed in a rectangular parallelepiped shape having a cross-sectional aspect ratio of about 1:10.
- the silicon flat optical waveguide 120 is formed to have an optical waveguide width of 1.0 ⁇ m and an optical waveguide thickness of 0.05 ⁇ m (aspect ratio is 1) by a silicon microfabrication technique such as a CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) process. : 20).
- the dimensions of the optical waveguide width and optical waveguide thickness of the silicon flat optical waveguide 120 are not limited to the above as long as the ratio of the optical waveguide width to the optical waveguide thickness is 10 or more.
- FIG. 2A A sectional view of a general optical waveguide 900 is shown in FIG. 2A, and a sectional view of the optical waveguide 100 according to this embodiment is shown in FIG. 2B.
- a general optical waveguide 900 includes a clad member 910 and a silicon fine wire optical waveguide 920.
- the clad member 910 is configured similarly to the clad member 110 of the optical waveguide 100 according to the present embodiment.
- the silicon fine wire optical waveguide 920 is formed in a rectangular parallelepiped type having a waveguide width of about 0.4 ⁇ m, a waveguide thickness of about 0.2 ⁇ m, and an aspect ratio of about 1: 2. That is, the aspect ratio of the silicon flat optical waveguide 120 of the optical waveguide 100 according to the present embodiment is about 10 times larger than the aspect ratio of the silicon thin-wire optical waveguide 920 of the general optical waveguide 900.
- FIGS. 2A and 2B when an optical signal for communication having a wavelength of 1.3 to 1.55 ⁇ m is incident,
- the spread is shown by dotted lines in FIGS. 2A and 2B, respectively.
- the general optical waveguide 900 is designed so that the light confinement rate is as high as possible so that the radiation loss of light can be neglected even in the bending waveguide. For example, in a general optical waveguide 900, even with a very small bending waveguide having a radius of curvature of 10 ⁇ m, the optical loss is almost 0 dB.
- the optical waveguide 100 according to this embodiment has a small light confinement rate, it is difficult to reduce the radius of curvature.
- the following effects can be achieved by increasing the aspect ratio of the cross-sectional shape of the silicon flat optical waveguide 120 to 10 times or more.
- the first effect is that the optical waveguide 100 according to the present embodiment can reduce the scattering loss due to the influence of roughness (roughness) on the side surface of the waveguide to about 1/10 of the general optical waveguide 900.
- the propagation loss of light is caused by the scattering loss in the roughness of the side wall of the optical waveguide when the waveguide material itself is silicon that does not absorb light.

- FIG. 3 shows changes in the light propagation constant for each cross-sectional structure of the silicon waveguide.
- the slope of the propagation constant is equivalent to the influence of the roughness of the waveguide sidewall.
- the propagation constant greatly varies according to the change in the waveguide width when the waveguide thickness is 0.1 ⁇ m or more. That is, when the aspect ratio of the cross section of the silicon waveguide is about 1: 1 to 2, the propagation constant varies sensitively due to the variation of the waveguide width due to roughness or the like.

- the inclination of the propagation constant of the optical waveguide 100 (point B) according to the present embodiment is about one-tenth of the inclination of the propagation constant of the optical waveguide 900 (point A). In comparison, the effect of sidewall roughness is reduced to about 1/10.
- the second effect is that the optical waveguide 100 according to the present embodiment can obtain good optical coupling with optical waveguides of other materials only by narrowing the width of the silicon flat optical waveguide 120.
- a silicon fine wire optical waveguide 920 of a general optical waveguide 900 has a smaller cross section than the cross sections of other optical waveguides, and the beam diameter of light at the connection portion of the optical waveguide is greatly different.
- the beam diameter in the optical fiber is about 10 ⁇ m, which is greatly different from the submicron beam diameter of the silicon fine wire optical waveguide 920. Therefore, it has been proposed to enlarge the beam diameter of the silicon fine wire optical waveguide 920 so as to match the beam diameter of other optical waveguides.
- FIGS. 4A and 4B The relationship between the waveguide structure and the beam diameter of light propagating through the waveguide is shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B.
- the SOA waveguide is used.
- the waveguide and the silicon fine wire optical waveguide 920 are each tapered so that the beam shape becomes a circle having a diameter of 3 ⁇ m.
- the position where the beam diameter is 3 ⁇ m or more is the T point
- the position corresponding to the optical waveguide 900 having the silicon fine wire optical waveguide 920 is the A point
- the light according to the present embodiment having the silicon flat optical waveguide 120 is indicated by a point B.
- the point T is near the waveguide width of 0.3 ⁇ m and the waveguide thickness of 0.05 ⁇ m

- a two-dimensional taper structure or a two-stage clad structure that simultaneously changes the waveguide width and the waveguide thickness is used.
- the beam diameter is reduced to a dimension (T point) of 3 ⁇ m.
- T point dimension of 3 ⁇ m.
- the process becomes complicated.
- the optical signal is strongly confined inside the silicon fine wire optical waveguide 920, the light beam diameter is not easily expanded only by changing the waveguide size.
- the waveguide width can be changed from about 1.0 ⁇ m.
- a desired beam diameter can be obtained by a unidirectional lateral taper structure that is changed in the vicinity of 0.3 ⁇ m.
- the silicon flat optical waveguide 120 according to the present embodiment originally has a small light confinement rate, the size of the light beam diameter can be easily adjusted. Therefore, the optical coupling loss with an optical element of another material system such as SOA can be easily reduced.
- the third effect is that, when the laser is configured by combining the optical waveguide 100 according to the present embodiment with the SOA, the laser is more stable than when the laser is configured by combining the general optical waveguide 900 with the SOA. It can be made to operate.
- the general optical waveguide 900 is highly scattered due to roughness, but in this case, reflection of light is also increased at the scattering point.
- the laser operation becomes unstable due to excessive internal reflection.
- the laser when the laser is configured by combining the optical waveguide 100 according to this embodiment with the SOA, the influence of the roughness of the waveguide side wall is small, so that the internal reflection amount in the waveguide is also small. Therefore, by using the optical waveguide 100 according to this embodiment as an external resonator, a laser that operates stably can be configured.
- the fourth effect is that the optical waveguide 100 according to this embodiment can reduce the light absorption loss in the silicon flat optical waveguide 120 as compared with the general optical waveguide 900.
- the light absorption of silicon is a level that can be ignored by a single material, but when the density of light increases, two-photon absorption occurs remarkably and light loss increases. When two-photon absorption occurs, the amount of light absorption increases as the laser light output increases, so the light output is saturated.
- the optical confinement rate of the silicon flat optical waveguide 120 is smaller than the optical confinement rate of the silicon thin-line optical waveguide 920, the influence of light absorption in the silicon flat optical waveguide 120 is affected. small. That is, since the light density is low in the silicon flat optical waveguide 120, the influence of absorption that is proportional to the square of the intensity of light such as two-photon absorption is particularly small.
- a general silicon thin-line optical waveguide 920 having a cross-sectional aspect ratio of about 1: 1 to 2 is applied.
- the range where the above-mentioned effect appears is a case where the aspect ratio of the cross-sectional shape of the silicon flat optical waveguide 120 is 10 times or more.
- the waveguide width of the silicon flat optical waveguide 120 is in the range of 0.8 to 1.4 ⁇ m and the waveguide thickness is in the range of 0.02 to 0.08 ⁇ m.
- the range in which the effect becomes more remarkable is a range in which the waveguide width of the silicon flat optical waveguide 120 is 0.9 to 1.2 ⁇ m and the waveguide thickness is 0.04 to 0.06 ⁇ m.
- a tunable laser using the Si photonics element including the silicon flat optical waveguide 120 described in the first embodiment as an external resonator is applied.
- the wavelength tunable laser according to the present embodiment is configured by forming an optical resonator by a planar optical waveguide such as a PLC and directly mounting a laser diode (LD) or SOA on the PLC.

- the first silicon flat optical waveguide 330 is formed with a lateral taper structure 331 on the connection side of the SOA 400 with the optical waveguide.
