Description

一种功率分配均匀的星型耦合器及其设计方法A star coupler with uniform power distribution and its design method 技术领域technical field
本发明涉及平面光波导集成器件技术领域,特别是涉及一种功率分配均匀的星型耦合器及其设计方法。The invention relates to the technical field of planar optical waveguide integrated devices, in particular to a star coupler with uniform power distribution and a design method thereof.
背景技术Background technique
现有技术背景:N×N星型耦合器是光通信网络中的重要器件,而平面波导星型耦合器以其结构紧凑、适用于大规模集成而成为一种很有潜力的方案。目前有两种平面波导星型耦合器的实现方案,一种是2*2方向耦合器的级联,在这种方案中,3dB耦合器的数目与端口数N的关系为N/2*log2(N),所以成本及复杂度成为主要的限制因素。另一种是有Dragone等提出的衍射型星型耦合器,它是由输入/输出阵列波导及连接它们的平板波导衍射区组成。从任意一个输入波导输入的光,都将通过平板波导区的衍射而被各输出波导接收。这种结构尺寸相对较小,同时信道的数目可以很大,这种方案更适合于大规模的N×N星型耦合器。目前已经报道的星型耦合器有8×8、19×19、64×64等,但是其插入损耗和均匀性并不十分理想。功率的不均匀分配是由于来自任何一个波导的光在自由传播区(FPR)的衍射图案都近似高斯形。Background of the prior art: N×N star coupler is an important device in optical communication network, and planar waveguide star coupler has become a very potential solution because of its compact structure and suitability for large-scale integration. At present, there are two implementation schemes for planar waveguide star couplers. One is the cascade of 2*2 directional couplers. In this scheme, the relationship between the number of 3dB couplers and the number of ports N is N/2*log2 (N), so cost and complexity become the main limiting factors. The other is the diffractive star coupler proposed by Dragone et al., which is composed of input/output arrayed waveguides and a plate waveguide diffraction area connecting them. Light input from any one of the input waveguides will be received by each output waveguide through diffraction by the slab waveguide region. The size of this structure is relatively small, and the number of channels can be very large at the same time. This scheme is more suitable for large-scale N×N star couplers. The star couplers that have been reported so far are 8×8, 19×19, 64×64, etc., but their insertion loss and uniformity are not very ideal. The uneven distribution of power is due to the nearly Gaussian-shaped diffraction pattern in the free propagation region (FPR) of light from any one waveguide.
现有技术结构:为了克服功率分配不均匀性的问题,人们可以增加接受外波导的孔宽度。然而,这种方法只可以在单一方向的星型耦合器中使用,单一方向的星型耦合即为星型耦合器的输入和输出侧均被固定。Prior art structure: In order to overcome the problem of power distribution non-uniformity, one can increase the aperture width that accepts the outer waveguide. However, this method can only be used in a unidirectional star coupler, where both the input and output sides of the star coupler are fixed.
另一个方法是利用在输入阵列中定向耦合平行波导端部形成一个特殊的光衍射特性的场分布图形。输入阵列中的波导的形状需要特殊设计,已获得这种特殊的光衍射特性分布图形。因此,这种设计的星型耦合器对制造变化非常敏感,加工精度要求非常高。Another approach is to use the ends of directionally coupled parallel waveguides in the input array to form a field profile with a specific light diffraction characteristic. The shape of the waveguides in the input array requires special design, and this particular pattern of light diffraction properties has been obtained. Therefore, the star coupler of this design is very sensitive to manufacturing variations and requires very high machining accuracy.

The width of each output waveguide is greater than or equal to the remaining output waveguides, and the remaining output waveguides have the same width.
本发明的实施方式涉及一种功率分配均匀的星型耦合器的设计方法,主要原理是通过光在FPR区域的路径发生变化,来实现输出波导的功率均匀分配,具体包括以下步骤:The embodiment of the present invention relates to a design method of a star coupler with uniform power distribution. The main principle is to achieve uniform power distribution of the output waveguide by changing the path of light in the FPR region, which specifically includes the following steps:
步骤(1):设置输出波导和输入波导的宽度,并将所述输出波导按预设间距依次排列;Step (1): setting the widths of the output waveguide and the input waveguide, and arranging the output waveguides in sequence according to a preset spacing;
所述步骤(1)中的输出波导和输入波导的宽度设置为0.5微米,预设间距设置为0.2微米。In the step (1), the width of the output waveguide and the input waveguide is set to 0.5 microns, and the preset spacing is set to 0.2 microns.
步骤(2):根据所述输入波导的发散角以及输出波导的排列总长度,计算FPR区域的长度;所述FPR区域为以所述输入波导端与所述FPR区域的耦合点(即图3中的O点)为中心,以FPR区域长度为半径构成的扇形区域。Step (2): Calculate the length of the FPR region according to the divergence angle of the input waveguide and the total length of the arrangement of the output waveguides; the FPR region is the coupling point between the input waveguide end and the FPR region (ie, Figure 3 ). A fan-shaped area formed with the length of the FPR area as the radius.
所述步骤(2)中根据所述输入波导的发散角以及输出波导的排列总长度,计算FPR区域的长度,公式为:R=(Narray*w a+(Narray-1)*w s)/2θ max,其中,(Narray*w a+(Narray-1)*w s)为输出波导的排列总长度,R为FPR区域的长度,θ max为输入波导孔径张角,为了尽可能将衍射光场吸收,本实施方式θ max的取值为θ max=1.5θ 0,θ 0为输入波导的发散角,Narray为输出波导的数目,w a为输出波导的宽度,w s为输出波导的间距。 In the step (2), the length of the FPR region is calculated according to the divergence angle of the input waveguide and the total arrangement length of the output waveguide, and the formula is: R=(Narray*w a +(Narray-1)*w s )/ 2θ max , where (Narray*w a +(Narray-1)*w s ) is the total length of the arrangement of the output waveguide, R is the length of the FPR region, and θ max is the aperture opening angle of the input waveguide. Field absorption, the value of θ max in this embodiment is θ max = 1.5θ 0 , θ 0 is the divergence angle of the input waveguide, Narray is the number of output waveguides, wa is the width of the output waveguide, and ws is the spacing of the output waveguides .
步骤(3):将FPR区域的一端与所述输入波导端相连,将FPR区域的另一端分别与所述多个输出波导相连。Step (3): Connect one end of the FPR region to the input waveguide end, and connect the other ends of the FPR region to the plurality of output waveguides respectively.
步骤(4):扫描FPR区域的波导输入端的宽度,得到总透射率;Step (4): scan the width of the input end of the waveguide in the FPR region to obtain the total transmittance;
步骤(5):根据所述总透射率将所述FPR区域依次划分为若干个规则形状单元格,每一个规则形状单元格有两种状态:分别为:打孔状态和非打孔状态,其中,所述打孔状态为所述规则形状单元格正中心设置有圆孔;Step (5): According to the total transmittance, the FPR region is divided into several regular-shaped cells in turn, and each regular-shaped cell has two states: a punched state and a non-punched state, wherein , the punching state is that the center of the regular-shaped cell is provided with a circular hole;
进一步地,由于本实施方式的星型耦合器结构是关于输入波导端的中心和输出波导端的中心连线对称(即上下对称),所以每次扫描规则形状单元格是对称改变上下对应的两个规则形状单元格的状态,即所述步骤(5)中的若干个规则形状单元格均匀对称地分布在FPR区域,这样能够尽量保证输出波导上下对称的两个输出结果一致,减少了计算量和复杂度。Further, since the star coupler structure of this embodiment is symmetrical about the connection between the center of the input waveguide end and the center of the output waveguide end (ie, the upper and lower symmetry), the two rules corresponding to the upper and lower are symmetrically changed each time the regular-shaped cell is scanned. The state of the shaped cells, that is, the several regular shaped cells in the step (5) are evenly and symmetrically distributed in the FPR area, so as to ensure that the two output results of the upper and lower symmetry of the output waveguide are consistent as much as possible, reducing the amount of calculation and complexity. Spend.
设置有圆孔的规则形状单元格(即打孔的规则形状单元格)可以改变器件局部折射率分布,从而改变光场分布,最终在输出波导端实现通道损耗均匀。The regular-shaped cells with circular holes (that is, the perforated regular-shaped cells) can change the local refractive index distribution of the device, thereby changing the optical field distribution, and finally achieving uniform channel loss at the output waveguide end.
步骤(6):根据预设成像算法和预设目标函数来调整每个规则形状单元格的状态,以使预设目标函数达到最大值,进而保证输出波导的功率均匀分布。Step (6): Adjust the state of each regular-shaped cell according to the preset imaging algorithm and the preset objective function, so that the preset objective function reaches the maximum value, thereby ensuring uniform distribution of the power of the output waveguide.
所述步骤(6)中的根据预设成像算法和预设目标函数来调整所述规则形状单元格的状态,具体为:根据DBS成像算法和预设目标函数扫描FPR区域中的第i个规则形状单元格,并计算第i个扫描的规则形状单元格的目标函数值,将第i个扫描的规则形状单元格的目标函数值与第i个扫描的规则形状单元格未改变状态时的目标函数值进行比较,若第i个扫描的规则形状单元格的目标函数值优于第i个扫描的规则形状单元格未改变状态时的目标函数值,则保留第i个扫描的规则形状单元格的状态,否则将第i个扫描的规则形状单元格恢复原状态,直至扫描完所有规则形状单元格;具体通过本实施方式优化后的结果见图3和图4,图3中的小白点即为正中心设置有圆孔的规则形状单元格。Adjusting the state of the regular shape cells according to the preset imaging algorithm and the preset objective function in the step (6) is specifically: scan the ith rule in the FPR area according to the DBS imaging algorithm and the preset objective function shape cells, and calculate the objective function value of the i-th scanned regular-shaped cell, compare the objective function value of the i-th scanned regular-shaped cell with the objective when the i-th scanned regular-shaped cell does not change state Compare the function values. If the objective function value of the i-th scanned regular-shaped cell is better than the objective function value of the i-th scanned regular-shaped cell without changing its state, keep the i-th scanned regular-shaped cell Otherwise, the i-th scanned regular-shaped cell will be restored to its original state until all regular-shaped cells have been scanned; specifically, the results optimized by this implementation are shown in Figures 3 and 4, and the small white dots in Figure 3 That is, a regular-shaped cell with a circular hole in the center.
由此可见,本发明通过在FPR区域设置规则形状单元格,每个规则形状单元格包括打孔和不打孔两种状态,通过DBS算法和预设目标函数来确定每个规则形状单元格的具体状态,保证星型耦合器的输出功率均匀分配;由于本发明的星形耦合器是对称的,故本发明在扫描规则形状单元格时仅扫描一半单元格即可,大大减小了计算量和复杂度。It can be seen that the present invention sets regular-shaped cells in the FPR area, and each regular-shaped cell includes two states of punching and no punching, and determines the size of each regular-shaped cell through the DBS algorithm and the preset objective function The specific state ensures that the output power of the star coupler is evenly distributed; because the star coupler of the present invention is symmetrical, the present invention only needs to scan half of the cells when scanning regular cells, which greatly reduces the amount of calculation. and complexity.
