具体实施方式
为使本申请实施例的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚，下面将结合本申请实施例中的附图，对本申请实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述，显然，所描述的实施例是本申请一部分实施例，而不是全部的实施例。基于本申请中的实施例，本领域普通技术人员在没有做出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例，都属于本申请保护的范围。
目前，绝大多数PICs(Photonic integrated circuits，光子集成电路)都是针对某一特定应用而设计并制造的ASPICs(application-specific photonic integrated circuits，专用光子集成电路)，比如细胞检测模块或全光逻辑门。一旦加工制作完成，其光路结构和工作效能固定不变，无法适用于多种应用领域及应用场景。
为解决上述技术问题，本实施例提供了一种光学器件，包括：分束比可调的第一耦合器；与第一耦合器连接的传感臂、可编程调制臂；其中，传感臂用于将第一耦合器输出的第一束光波通过缝隙波导生成第一信号；可编程调制臂用于利用光栅的衍射效应根据第一耦合器输出的第二束光波得到第二信号，其中，光栅是在可编程调制臂的可编程压电换能器的预先编程的电压参数下生成的纳米光栅；输入端口与传感臂、可编程调制臂连接，且输出端口与光电探测器连接的第二耦合器。
可见，本申请可以调整第一耦合器的分束比和可编程压电换能器的电压参数，根据电压参数得到以电信号形式变化的超声场，以形成纳米的光栅，该光栅的折射率变化导致光波的相位发生变化，当第二束光波通过可编程调制臂时，由于光栅的衍射效应的作用，使光载波受到调制成为携带信息的强度或者相位调制波即第二信号，实现了对光信号的调控；传感臂的缝隙波导为纳米缝隙，引起第一束光波在纳米尺度的光学局限和光学放大，生成第一信号，因此，本申请的光学器件可以感应环境的微小变化，由微小变化会导致光学相移，通过光学相移可以得到环境的变化；在第一信号和第二信号通过第二耦合器耦合后，在输出端形成相长或者相消干涉的光信号，最终通过光电探测器检测，可见，本申请不仅可以根据光信号进行光学逻辑门运算，还可以进行生物传感器检测，可以适应多种场景，促进了器件的可重复使用和可持续使用。
请参考图1，图1为本申请实施例提供的一种光学器件的结构示意图，包括：
分束比可调的第一耦合器110；与第一耦合器110连接的传感臂、可编程调制臂；其中，传感臂用于将第一耦合器110输出的第一束光波通过缝隙波导121生成第一信号；可编程调制臂用于利用光栅的衍射效应根据第一耦合器110输出的第二束光波得到第二信号，其中，光栅是在可编程调制臂的可编程压电换能器134的预先编程的电压参数下生成的纳米光栅；输入端口与传感臂、可编程调制臂连接，且输出端口与光电探测器连接的第二耦合器140。
针对第一耦合器110，进行进一步阐述，第一耦合器110为分束比可调的耦合器，可以是50/50耦合器，当然还可以是其他的耦合器，本实施例不再进行限定，用户可根据实际需求进行选择，只要是能够实现本实施例的目的即可。进一步的，该第一耦合器110的分束比用户可以根据实际需求通过算机软件控制器来进行修改。通过分束比的修改可以确定第一束光波和第二束光波的比值，可以是0:1，还可以是1:0，还可以是n1:n2，n1、n2根据实际需求设置。
针对传感臂，进行进一步阐述。传感臂包括缝隙波导121，当然还可以包括第一条形波导122，缝隙波导121设置在第一条形波导122的设定位置处，该设定位置可根据实际需求设定。其中，缝隙波导121的纳米缝隙可以引起 衰逝波在纳米尺度的光场局限和放大，可以感应附近环境的微小变化，从而导致光学相移，检测多个甚至单个生物小分子。当光波通过MZI(Mach-Zehnder interferometers，马赫-曾德尔干涉仪)臂(传感臂和可编程调制臂)之后，光波的光学相移的微小变化，生成的第一信号和第二信号都可以在第二耦合器140(固定分束比)耦合之后，在第二耦合器140的输出端形成相长或相消干涉得到第一输出信号和第二输出信号，并通过光电探测器检测出来。本实施例中缝隙波导121可以为高折射率硅波导。由于硅的折射率很高，在缝隙波导121的纳米缝隙中，易形成光场模式的空间局限和强度增强，有助于产生光学捕获现象，可应用于单分子检测和其他近场光学场景。优选的，本实施例中的输入光信号的光波范围可以为红外波段，可以主要集中在生物波长1064nm和通信波长1550nm附近。
针对可编程调制臂进行进一步阐述。可编程调制臂用于利用光栅的衍射效应根据第一耦合器110输出的第二束光波得到第二信号，其中，光栅是在可编程调制臂的可编程压电换能器134的预先编程的电压参数下生成的。本实施例不对可编程调制臂的结构进行限定，用户可根据实际需求进行设置，只要是能够实现本实施例的目的即可。优选地，光栅为布拉格光栅，布拉格光栅可以是均匀光纤光栅、均匀长周期光纤光栅、切趾光纤光栅、相移光纤光栅、取样光纤光栅、啁啾光纤光栅中的任意一种，请参考图2a-2d，图2a为本申请实施例提供的一种均匀光纤光栅的示意图，图2b为本申请实施例提供的一种啁啾光纤光栅的示意图，图2c为本申请实施例提供的一种相移光纤光栅的示意图，图2d为本申请实施例提供的一种取样光纤光栅的示意图。
在一种可实现的实施方式中，可编程调制臂包括第二条形波导131、包覆预设长度的第二条形波导131的石英晶体132、设置在石英晶体132两侧的吸声体133和可编程压电换能器134；其中，在可编程压电换能器134的预先编程的电压参数下，石英晶体132中的第二波导内形成对应的布拉格光栅，第二束光波在光栅的衍射效应下，生成第二信号。
其中，可编程调制臂包括声光调制模块和条形波导，声光调制模块通过石英晶体132包层作用于第二条形波导131上，该声光调制模块具体包括第二条形波导131外部包覆的石英晶体132、光学透明的吸声体133、可编程压电换能器134。具体的，计算机软件控制器控制外部电压信号的电压参数(包 括电压大小、周期)，作用于可编程压电换能器134，通过电声转化为以电信号形式变化的超声场，形成光栅，光栅折射率的变化导致穿过石英晶体132的第二束光波的相位发生变化，生成第二信号。当第二束光波通过可编程调制臂时，由于光栅的衍射效应作用，使第二束光波受到调制而成为携带信息的强度或相位调制波即第二信号。
针对第二耦合器140进行进一步阐述。通过传感臂和可编程调制臂的两个波即第一信号和第二信号通过输入端口输入第二耦合中(例如50/50耦合器)，然后传递到两个输出端口，输出端口的光波(第一输出光信号和第二输出光信号)是输入端口的光波的线性组合。在整个光路中，功率和相移都是根据目标功能，由计算机软件控制器控制。在输出端口，输出光信号可以只从某一个端口输出，或者按一定的比率从两个端口同时输出，输出光信号强度的大小可以连续控制。由于光路可逆，本实施例如果作为光学逻辑门可以正向或反向工作。由于光子是玻色子，本光学器件可以同时传输和处理两个不同波长的光波信号，并互不干扰。由此可见，本光学器件可处理模拟运算。
可以理解的是，本实施例中的第一耦合器110和可编程压电换能器134均可以通过计算机软件控制器来调控对应的参数。进一步的，输入光信号也可以是可调的。因此，用户根据需要对PICs设备进行编程，可以控制三个部分，第一部分可以调整激光光源，可以根据需要选择输入的波长，两个激光器的输出波长可以相同或不同；第二部分和第三部分主要是光学器件，具体为光学器件的第一耦合器110、可编程压电换能器134，调整第一耦合器110，可以根据实际情况调整分束比；通过编程控制可编程压电换能器134，通过电压控制输入声波，在石英晶体132的条形波导上形成纳米的布拉格光栅，布拉格光栅的结构参数受计算机软件控制器可调可控，且折射率随周期变化，在光波传输的路径上引起相位调制。
其中，本实施例中的可编程光子集成电路可以是在绝缘衬底硅片上制造MZI结构，光波在波导中传播，输入到2×2耦合器也就是本实施例中的光学器件中，通过第一耦合器110(可以是50/50耦合器)进入MZI光路，通过两束光波的干涉效应，最后通过第二耦合器140即50/50分束器输出信号。对于其工作机理进行进一步阐述，光学器件决定了可编程的功能光路，以及如何配置，其中，可编程调制臂充当光学移相器，通过可编程调制臂来控制波导 折射率的变化进而可以更精确地控制穿过MZI的光信号，从而带来更好的PICs性能。具体的，在图1中，光学器件作为2×2光学逻辑门将来自两个输入波导的光(波长可以相同或不同)输入到第一耦合器110中，输入功率根据计算机软件控制器控制，被分配到第一耦合器110的两端输出波导中，这两个波导形成MZI的两个臂。由于两个臂的折射率分布不同，光程差也不一样，在第二耦合器140之前就会形成相位差。
进一步的，为了减小器件大小和驱动电压，本实施例使用基于波导的可编程调制臂。可以理解的是，改进的马赫曾德尔结构有两个输入光信号源，因此在MZI(马赫曾德尔结构)中可以同时传输两个不同的波长信号，增加了信息容量，并且不同波长信号之间互不干扰，不存在信息串扰现象。
基于上述技术方案，本实施例可以调整第一耦合器110的分束比和可编程压电换能器134的电压参数，根据电压参数得到以电信号形式变化的超声场，以形成纳米的光栅，该光栅的折射率变化导致光波的相位发生变化，当第二束光波通过可编程调制臂时，由于光栅的衍射效应的作用，使光载波受到调制成为携带信息的强度或者相位调制波即第二信号，实现了对光信号的调控；传感臂的缝隙波导121为纳米缝隙，引起第一束光波在纳米尺度的光学局限和光学放大，生成第一信号，因此，本申请的光学器件可以感应环境的微小变化，由微小变化会导致光学相移，通过光学相移可以得到环境的变化；在第一信号和第二信号通过第二耦合器140耦合后，在输出端形成相长或者相消干涉的光信号，最终通过光电探测器检测，可见，本申请不仅可以根据光信号进行光学逻辑门运算，还可以进行生物传感器检测，可以适应多种场景，促进了器件的可重复使用和可持续使用。
进一步地，为了提高信号的灵敏度，本实施例中传感臂的缝隙波导121、第一条形波导122和可编程调制臂的第二条形波导131均为高折射率硅波导。
进一步地，缝隙波导121包括：二氧化硅衬底、设置在二氧化硅衬底上的第一硅结构和第二硅结构，其中，第一硅结构和第二硅结构之间的距离为纳米级距离。
进一步地，第一条形波导122和第二条形波导131均包括：二氧化硅衬底、设置在二氧化硅衬底上的硅结构。为了提升与现有电子集成电路工艺的兼容性问题，本实施例采用具有高折射率的硅材料，和具有声光调制效应的 石英，加工制作在二氧化硅衬底上，所用材料便宜，加工成本低，便于批量生产。请参考图3，图3为本申请实施例提供的一种条形波导的结构的横截示意图，请参考图4，图4为本申请实施例提供的一种缝隙波导的结构的横截示意图。其中，图3中的结构适用于第一条形波导122和/或第二条形波导131。在本申请中，传感臂包含缝隙波导121和条形波导结构，缝隙波导121占据整个传感臂的一小部分。
进一步地，可编程压电换能器134为压电陶瓷换能器。其中，压电陶瓷换能器制作方便，可操控强，灵敏度高，机电耦合性好。
进一步地，第一耦合器110、第二耦合器140均为50/50耦合器。
综上可知，本实施例提供通用型多功能马赫-曾德尔片上干涉仪，具有传感运算功能一体化，通过光学波导结构，实现光学传输，光学放大和光学局限；通过光学干涉现象，实现逻辑运算和生物传感。用户可以根据目标功能需求使用计算机软件进行编程，通过电压控制声波的方式，对片上光波导的折射率进行重新配置，形成布拉格光栅结构，从而实现对光信号的再次调控。为了提升与现有电子集成电路工艺的兼容性问题，采用具有高折射率的硅材料，和具有声光调制效应的石英，加工制作在二氧化硅基片上，所用材料便宜，加工成本低，便于批量生产。
下面对本申请实施例提供的一种电子器件进行介绍，下文描述的电子器件与上文描述的光学器件可相互对应参照。
本申请提供了一种电子器件，包括如上的光学器件，其中，电子器件为光学逻辑门和/或生物传感器。
在作为生物传感器时，由于周围环境的变化例如：热效应、生物分子等，会对传感臂、可编程调制臂的光信号产生影响，进而传感臂和可编程调制臂输出的光信号第一信号和第二信号会有变化，进而通过第二耦合器耦合后，光电探测器可以根据输出的第一输出光信号和第二输出光信号探测出来。可见，本实施例中作为生物传感器时，当生物分子较小时，两束光信号均是有效信号，需要通过两个光学臂，此时能够得到准确的信号；当生物分子较大时，两束光信号均至少存在一个有效信号，主要是由于单个波导也可以作为生物传感器，通过两个光学臂后基于干涉现象得到的信号更加准确。
本实施例中作为光学逻辑门通过逻辑运算，输出的第一输出光信号和第二输出光信号的1、0高低光强，实现光学逻辑门的功能。光学逻辑门可以在运行逻辑运算时进行操作，也可以同时进行生物传感，通过电信号控制光波导连接的可调光束的第一耦合器和可编程压电换能器。在计算机软件控制器的控制下，光信号得以在空间分布并重新路由。此时芯片可以通过干涉沿不同路径的光束，实现各种线性功能。

可以理解的是，本实施例中的关键模块包括可调谐激光器200、光学器件的缝隙波导、光学器件的可调谐的第一耦合器和光学器件的可编程压电换能器，所有的模块都应该具有较低的插入损耗和低功耗，并集成在同一块芯片上。
本实施例是改进型片上马赫-曾德尔光学干涉仪，通过引入计算机技术、缝隙波导结构、压电控制模块，在光信号通过光学逻辑门进行逻辑运算的同时进行调制，也可以同时进行生物传感，形成通用型多功能复合型光计算器件。
