Embodiment
For making the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, below in conjunction with specific embodiment, and with reference to accompanying drawing, the present invention is described in more detail.
This photon crystal tunable filter provided by the invention is a kind of subminiature three-D photon crystal thermo-optical tunability wave filter, it is the defective photon crystal structure of on the basis of 1-D photon crystal wave filter, making two dimension, step by refractive index changes carries out lateral limitation and optics frequency-selecting, adopts the mode of light heating to realize thermo-optical tunability.
Photon crystal filter provided by the invention is by following catoptron, wall and the upper reflector of growing successively on silicon on the insulation course (SOI) substrate, and the airport formation that runs through upper reflector, wall, following catoptron and SOI substrate top layer silicon.
Wherein, described upper reflector and following catoptron are by multilayer Si/SiO 2Deielectric-coating constitutes, and described wall is Si.The thickness of Si is in upper reflector and the following catoptron

Wherein λ is a vacuum wavelength, n SiBe the refractive index of Si,

Be SiO 2Refractive index, m is the interference level in chamber.
Descend the reflectivity of catoptron high more good more in theory, generally up to more than 99%, because Si and SiO 2Between refringence bigger, therefore only have severally just can reach good reflectivity to catoptron, getting upper reflector is 3.5 pairs, promptly upper reflector is by 7 layers of Si/SiO 2Deielectric-coating constitutes; Following catoptron is 4.5 pairs, promptly descends catoptron by 9 layers of Si/SiO 2Deielectric-coating constitutes.
Photon crystal tunable filter provided by the invention, photonic crystal are the single-point defect sturcture, and the point defect place is a single mode waveguide.The upper and lower catoptron Si/SiO that is constituting by multilayer dielectric film 2And on the one dimension defective photon crystal filter (typical structure as shown in Figure 1) that the wall (Si) between the catoptron forms up and down, form the single-point defective photon crystal structure of two dimension in conjunction with etching airport array by electron beam exposure and inductively coupled plasma etching technology.The hole depth of etching passes whole film.The synoptic diagram of this structure as shown in Figure 2.
For the 1-D photon crystal wave filter, Si and SiO in the catoptron up and down 2The thickness of layer should be respectively
Figure G2006101716654D00085
Figure G2006101716654D00086
The thickness of Si wall is Wherein, λ is a vacuum wavelength; n Si, Be respectively Si and SiO 2Refractive index; M is the interference level in chamber.When λ=1.55 μ m, get n Si=3.5,
Figure G2006101716654D00089
Then Si and SiO 2The thickness of layer is respectively 110.7nm and 267.2nm, and the thickness of Si wall is 221.4m (nm), and wherein m represents chamber mode step number.Because this structure is a sandwich construction, if when the structural parameters of design photonic crystal, each layer of detailed consideration will be very complicated.So we are one deck with this sandwich construction equivalence, its refractive index replaces with an equivalent refractive index.Because wall is Si, be high refractive index layer, so its equivalent refractive index can be with following formulate, that is,
N wherein HAnd n LThe refractive index of representing high index of refraction and low-index layer in the catoptron respectively, and m still represents the interference level in chamber.When getting m=1, top formula becomes:
Figure G2006101716654D00092
Here, n H=3.5, n L=1.45, therefore, n Equ≈ 2.25, and the thickness that obtains the Si wall is 221.4nm.
Then we represent the refractive index of whole one dimension defective photon crystal filter with this equivalent refractive index, and the two-dimensional photon crystal structure of making on it is designed.Because we introduce the purpose of the photon crystal structure of two dimension is to reach the restriction of side direction by horizontal index modulation, rather than obtains real band gap.The photonic crystal fiber of this and full-internal reflection type machine-processed similar.Therefore the cycle of airport can be very big, easier realization on technology.
As everyone knows, for common waveguiding structure, the parameter of a key is a normalized frequency V parameter, and it is used for estimating the guided mode quantity that comprises in the waveguide.V=2.405 is the cutoff frequency of first high-order mode, so the waveguide of V<2.405 is considered to single mode waveguide.Equally, in a lateral wave guide structure that is made of the single-point defective photonic crystal of two dimension, effectively the V parameter can be expressed as:
Figure G2006101716654D00093
Wherein, λ is an operation wavelength, and R is equivalent defective radius, n EquBe the effective refractive index of whole multilayer thin-film-filter when not having 2 D photon crystal to exist, promptly introduce the effective refractive index of two-dimensional photon crystal structure back cavity, n EffIt is the effective refractive index of covering behind the introducing two-dimensional photon crystal structure.In certain wavelength and bore dia scope, we have calculated V EffSuppose that grating constant is Λ, the diameter of airport is d.For single defect cavity, can think R ≈ Λ.With Λ=3 μ m is example, the relative opening diameter Be increased to 0.35, the V that calculates from 0.01 EffWith the normalization grating constant
Figure G2006101716654D00095
Variation relation as shown in Figure 3.
As seen: when
Figure G2006101716654D00096
The time, in the normalization grating constant
Figure G2006101716654D00097
In the scope, V Eff<2.405, a single point defect state has played the effect of single mode waveguide.Therefore, if design Λ=3 μ m, d≤0.45 μ m for the light of λ 〉=0.15 mum wavelength scope, all can realize single mode transport.But because undersized airport is made and is difficult to, for the difficulty that reduces to make, we choose d=0.45 μ m.In summary, for we research λ=1.55 mum wavelengths near light, the structural parameters of photonic crystal can be elected Λ=3 μ m, d=0.45 μ m as.At this moment, the ratio in the diameter of airport and cycle satisfies the requirement of single mode transport.The cycle of airport is 3 μ m, and the diameter of airport and the ratio in cycle are smaller or equal to 0.15.When light entered the 1-D photon crystal resonant cavity, because the interference effect of resonant cavity, the light that satisfies the particular phases condition was by wave filter, and other light is suppressed, thereby had wavelength selection effect.The 2 D photon crystal defect cavity of side direction constitutes the restriction of single mode waveguide realization lateral light simultaneously.Just can effectively heat when incident illumination is mapped to defect area, thereby reach the purpose of wavelength tuning film.
Based on the structural representation of photon crystal tunable filter illustrated in figures 1 and 2, Fig. 4 shows the realization flow figure of making photon crystal tunable filter overall technological scheme provided by the invention, and this method may further comprise the steps:
