Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of integrated photoelectron, in particular to an optical time delay array chip based on chirped Bragg grating.
Background
The optical time delay technology has wide application in the fields of optical communication and radar detection. In the phased array radar, when the traditional phased array antenna based on the electrical phase shifter works in a large bandwidth, the wave beam of the traditional phased array antenna is inclined, the instantaneous bandwidth is limited, and the problem can be well solved by the phased array antenna based on the optical true delay line. The conventional optical delay line is realized based on a chirped Bragg grating optical fiber, and as the requirements of an optical delay system on volume, weight and precision are improved, an optical delay integrated chip gets more and more attention.
The reverse coupling chirped grating is a new delay line integration scheme proposed in recent years. The structure characteristics and the working principle of the chirped grating delay waveguide are shown in fig. 1, grating teeth with fixed periods are added at the edge of the tapered waveguide with gradually changed refractive index to form the chirped grating waveguide, light with different wavelengths is reflected at different positions of the waveguide and coupled into the adjacent tapered waveguide for propagation, the path of the light can be adjusted by adjusting the wavelength of the light, and the adjustment and control of the optical delay amount are realized.
In 2014, the Wei Shi task group at mcgill university, canada, first made an optical delay waveguide based on a reverse coupling chirped grating, where the delay waveguide is composed of two ridge waveguides with gradually changed widths, one of the waveguides with chirped grating structure reflects light with different wavelengths at different positions, and the reflected light is coupled to the other common waveguide for transmission, so as to complete the path separation of the reflected light from the incident light. By adjusting the wavelength, the delay waveguide can realize the adjustable delay amount of 96ps, and the loss is less than 2db [ Optics Letters,2014,39, 701-. On the basis, the board-building topic group of the university of science and technology in Huazhong is further improved, and a tapered ridge waveguide is replaced by a tapered square waveguide, so that the processing difficulty and the cost are reduced [ Photonics Research,2018,6,880-886 ]. Further, the subject group initially explores a multi-channel delay array, and a 4-channel delay waveguide array is realized by adopting positive and negative dispersion waveguides, as shown in fig. 2, the array structure is a cascade-free multi-channel delay array [ ieee photonics Society Journal of Selected Topics in quantum electronics,2020,2983579 ]. However, the delay array has the following problems: 1. the optical delay waveguide is a linear waveguide, the transverse length is too long, the waveguide length of 1.4cm is needed for realizing 300ps delay, and the longer length is needed for realizing the larger delay, so that the requirement of small size of an integrated chip is not met; 2. the multi-channel waveguides are mutually independent, loose in structure, large in processing area and high in cost.

Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present invention, but not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
Example 1
The invention provides a multi-cascade waveguide structure for reducing the transverse size of a delay waveguide, and aims to solve the problem that the transverse length of a multi-channel optical delay array based on a chirped Bragg grating is too long. As shown in fig. 3, a schematic diagram of 2 cascaded waveguides instead of a single straight waveguide is given. The structural parameters of the single straight waveguide are kept unchanged, and the single straight waveguide is split and cascaded according to the length halving (L is changed into L/2), so that the conversion of the single linear long wave guide 2-cascaded short waveguide is completed. The same amount of delay occurs because the light travels the same path within the 2-stage waveguide and the tapered dispersive waveguide of the single straight waveguide (as in the black dashed path of fig. 3).
Based on the problems of loose structure and large processing area of the multichannel optical delay array, the invention further provides a cascade + power division structure. The multi-cascade waveguide has only one output end, so that only one delay quantity is output, and in order to enable the multi-cascade waveguide to output more delay quantities, the power division structure 2 to be cascaded is added at the cascade position, so that each cascade position can additionally output one delay quantity, and one N cascade waveguide can output N +1 delay quantities. Compared with the multi-channel delay array with mutually independent delay channels in fig. 2, by the cascade and power division structure, all delay amount can be output only by intercepting the longest delay waveguide in fig. 2 for splitting, cascading and power division, and the area of a delay chip is greatly reduced. According to the fundamental principle, the cascade + power division structure realizes the sharing of the delay paths among multiple channels, so that a plurality of delay waveguides can be reduced.

Continuing to refer to fig. 4, taking 3 short waveguides with the same length as an example, each short waveguide is taken as a short delay waveguide 1 to be cascaded, an input end of the first power division structure 2 to be cascaded inputs an optical signal, one output end of the power division structure 2 to be cascaded is connected to the input end of the first short delay waveguide 1 to be cascaded, and the other output end outputs an optical signal with a delay amount of 0 t; the output end of the first to-be-cascaded short delay waveguide 1 is connected with the input end of the second to-be-cascaded power division structure 2, one output end of the second to-be-cascaded power division structure 2 is connected with the input end of the second to-be-cascaded short delay waveguide 1, and the other output end outputs an optical signal with delay amount of 1 t.

As a further improved scheme of the present invention, the short delay waveguide to be cascaded is a waveguide based on a chirped bragg grating, and all the structural parameters of the short delay waveguide to be cascaded are the same, where the structural parameters include a waveguide width, a waveguide gap, a period interval of grating teeth, a duty ratio, and a tooth length. The structure of a waveguide based on a chirped bragg grating is shown in figure 1.
As a further improved scheme of the present invention, as shown in fig. 5, the to-be-cascaded power dividing structure 2 is a multimode interferometer, which has an input end and two output ends, and by adjusting the width of the input end plane 204, the optical power ratio between the output of the current stage and the input of the next stage can be continuously adjusted. As shown in fig. 5, in the present invention, the input end of the multimode interferometer has a tapered slope gradual change structure, the input end is a square inlet 201, a first slope 202 is arranged at the connection with the upper part of the input end, a second slope 203 is arranged at the connection with the lower part of the input end, and both the first slope 202 and the second slope 203 are inclined in a splayed manner towards the direction deviating from the central axis of the square inlet 201, and the inclination slopes of the first slope 202 and the second slope 203 are the same as each other with respect to the central axis; a plane 204 and a vertical plane 205 are arranged on the first inclined plane 202, the plane 204 is parallel to the upper part of the input port, and the vertical plane 205 is vertical to the upper part of the input port; adjoining the vertical surface 205 is a third inclined surface 206, which is inclined in the same direction and gradient as the first inclined surface 202.

The transverse size of the delay waveguide is reduced through cascading, the delay path sharing among channels is realized through the power dividing structure 2 to be cascaded, the integration level of a chip is increased, the chip processing area is greatly reduced, and therefore the processing cost is reduced.
Example 2
The difference between embodiment 2 of the present invention and embodiment 1 is that: as shown in fig. 8, a single linear long delay waveguide 5 is split into a plurality of short waveguides with lengths of 1L and 2L … xL, the short waveguide with the length of xL is used as the short delay waveguide 1 to be cascaded, and the others are used as the non-cascaded waveguides 3. An input end of a first to-be-cascaded power division structure 2 inputs an optical signal, one output end of the first to-be-cascaded power division structure 2 is connected with an input end of a first to-be-cascaded short delay waveguide 1, the other output end of the first to-be-cascaded power division structure 2 is connected with an input end of a non-cascaded waveguide 3 through x-1 output ends in a 1x non-cascaded power division structure 4, the remaining output end in the 1x non-cascaded power division structure 4 outputs an optical signal with a delay of 0t, and the output ends of the non-cascaded waveguides 3 with lengths of 1L and 2L … (x-1) L output optical signals with delays of 1t and 2t … (x-1) t; wherein, the 1 × x non-cascaded power division structure 4 represents a power division structure having one input terminal and x output terminals, and the non-cascaded representation does not participate in the cascade.

the last short delay waveguide to be cascaded (set as the Mth waveguide) is directly connected with the input ends of the x-1 non-cascaded waveguides through x-1 output ends in a 1 xx non-cascaded power division structure, the rest output end in the 1 xx non-cascaded power division structure outputs optical signals with the delay amount of Mxt, and the output ends of the non-cascaded waveguides with the lengths of 1L and 2L … (x-1) L respectively output optical signals with the delay amounts of (Mx +1) t and (Mx +2) t … (Mx + x-1) t.
Continuing to refer to fig. 8, a single linear delay waveguide 1 with a length of 5L is split into two short waveguides with a length of 2L and 1 short waveguide with a length of L, the short waveguides with a length of 2L are both used as short delay waveguides 1 to be cascaded, the short waveguides with a length of L are used as non-cascaded waveguides 3, and do not participate in the cascade, and one non-cascaded waveguide 3 with a length of L is added in each cascade. In fig. 8, two cascades are performed, so that two non-cascaded waveguides 3 with a length of L are supplemented, and finally, two short delay waveguides 1 to be cascaded with a length of 2L and three non-cascaded waveguides 3 with a length of L are provided. An input end of a first to-be-cascaded power division structure 2 inputs an optical signal, an output end of the to-be-cascaded power division structure 2 is connected with an input end of a first to-be-cascaded short waveguide with a length of 2L, another output end of the to-be-cascaded power division structure 2 is connected with a non-cascaded short waveguide with a length of 1L through an output end of a 1 × 2 non-cascaded power division structure 4, another output end of the 1 × 2 non-cascaded power division structure 4 directly outputs an optical signal with a delay of 0t, and an output end of the non-cascaded short waveguide outputs an optical signal with a delay of 1 t.
An output end of a 1 st to-be-cascaded short delay waveguide 1 is connected with an input end of a 2 nd to-be-cascaded power division structure 2, one output end of the 2 nd to-be-cascaded power division structure 2 is connected with an input end of the 2 nd to-be-cascaded short delay waveguide 1, another output end of the 2 nd to-be-cascaded power division structure 2 is connected with a non-cascaded waveguide 3 through an output end of a 1 × 2 non-cascaded power division structure 4, another output end of the 1 × 2 non-cascaded power division structure 4 outputs an optical signal with a delay of 2t, and an output end of the non-cascaded waveguide 3 outputs an optical signal with a delay of 3 t.
The output end of the 2 nd to-be-cascaded short delay waveguide 1 is directly connected with a non-cascaded waveguide 3 through one output end of a 1 × 2 non-cascaded power division structure 4, the other output end of the 1 × 2 non-cascaded power division structure 4 directly outputs an optical signal with delay of 4t, and the output end of the non-cascaded short delay waveguide 3 outputs an optical signal with delay of 5 t.
For a waveguide with a short length based on a chirped bragg grating, the bragg grating cannot completely reflect light, so that part of the light escapes from the optical loop from the tail end of the waveguide, resulting in a port loss L _ p, where the total loss L is L _ p + L _ t (as shown in fig. 9), where L _ t is a transmission loss and is proportional to the length of the delay waveguide. The port loss L _ p gradually decreases and approaches to zero with the increase of the length of the delay waveguide, and therefore, in order to reduce the loss, the cascade unit in the multi-channel cascade + power dividing structure 2 preferably selects the delay waveguide with the port loss L _ p smaller or 0. As shown in fig. 4, if L is used as the cascaded unit to construct 4L delay waveguides, the total loss L (4L) ═ 4 × L _ p (L) +4 × L _ t (L), whereas if L2L delay waveguides with the port loss L _ p being 0 are used as the cascaded unit, L (4L) ═ 2 × L _ t (2L) ═ 4 × L _ t (L), the loss term is reduced by 4L _ p (L). In this case, in order to reduce the loss, the full-cascade structure in embodiment 1 is changed to a half-cascade structure as shown in fig. 8, a waveguide of 2L length with a small port loss L _ p is selected as a cascade unit, and a waveguide of L length with a large port loss L _ p does not participate in the cascade. Full cascading means that all the short waveguides participate in cascading, half cascading means that a part of the short waveguides participate in cascading, and the rest of the short waveguides do not participate in cascading.
Taking the construction of eight-channel delay arrays of 0t, 1t, 2t, 3t, 4t, 5t, 6t and 7t as an example. If 8 cascades are performed according to the full-cascade method of embodiment 1, as shown in fig. 4, the signal output from the port outputting the delay amount 7t needs to pass through 7 short waveguides with a length of 1L, and assuming that the loss of each short waveguide with 1L is 1db, the final loss is 7 db. If 4-stage concatenation is to be performed according to the semi-stage concatenation method of embodiment 2, as shown in fig. 8, a signal output from a port outputting a delay amount of 7t needs to pass through 3 short waveguides of 2L length and 1 short waveguide of 1L length. Since the shorter the length, the greater the escape loss of light at the end of the waveguide, the 2L length short waveguide will have a loss that is less than 2 times the 1L waveguide loss and possibly even less than the 1L short waveguide loss, assuming a 1.2db short waveguide loss per 2L length. The final loss is 1.2db +1.2db +1.2db +1db ═ 4.6 db. Therefore, under the condition that the loss of a short waveguide port with the length of 1L is large, the loss of the half cascade is smaller than that of the full cascade.
The half-cascade mode shown in fig. 8 is an optimal solution, and in practical application, the half-cascade mode is not limited to the cascade mode shown in fig. 8, and the waveguide to be cascaded may also be a delay waveguide with a length multiple relationship of 3 times as shown in fig. 10 or a hybrid combination of delay waveguides with a length multiple relationship of 2 times and 3 times as shown in fig. 11.
Fig. 2 and fig. 10 are combined to split a single linear long delay waveguide 5 into a plurality of short waveguides with lengths of 1L and 2L … 3L, respectively, the short waveguide with the length of 3L is used as the short delay waveguide 1 to be cascaded, and the others are used as the non-cascaded waveguides 3. An input end of a first to-be-cascaded power division structure 2 inputs an optical signal, one output end of the first to-be-cascaded power division structure 2 is connected with an input end of a first to-be-cascaded short delay waveguide 1, the other output end of the first to-be-cascaded power division structure 2 is respectively connected with non-cascaded waveguides 3 with the lengths of 1L and 2L through 2 output ends of a 1 × 3 non-cascaded power division structure 4, the remaining output end of the 1 × 3 non-cascaded power division structure 4 directly outputs an optical signal with the delay amount of 0t, and the output ends of the non-cascaded waveguides 3 with the lengths of 1L and 2L respectively output optical signals with the delay amounts of 1t and 2t, wherein the 1 × x non-cascaded power division structure 4 represents a power division structure with one input end and x output ends. An output end of a 1 st to-be-cascaded short delay waveguide 1 is connected with an input end of a 2 nd to-be-cascaded power division structure 2, one output end of the 2 nd to-be-cascaded power division structure 2 is connected with an input end of the 2 nd to-be-cascaded short delay waveguide 1, the other output end of the 2 nd to-be-cascaded power division structure 2 is respectively connected with non-cascaded waveguides 3 with lengths of 1L and 2L through 2 output ends of a 1x 3 non-cascaded power division structure 4, the remaining output end of the 1x 3 non-cascaded power division structure 4 outputs optical signals with delay of 3t, and the output ends of the non-cascaded waveguides 3 with lengths of 1L and 2L respectively output optical signals with delay of 4t and 5 t.
The output end of the 2 nd to-be-cascaded short delay waveguide 1 is directly connected with the 1L and 2L non-cascaded waveguides 3 through 2 output ends in a 1 × 3 non-cascaded power division structure 4, the remaining output end in the 1 × 3 non-cascaded power division structure 4 outputs optical signals with delay of 6t, and the output ends of the 1L and 2L non-cascaded waveguides 3 output optical signals with delay of 7t and 8 t.
In the invention, L is the length, but the specific length value is not limited, the length value is determined according to the single linear type long delay waveguide 5, and after the single linear type long delay waveguide 5 is split into a plurality of sections of short waveguides with multiple relations, the length of the short waveguide with the minimum multiple is L. The delay amount t is not limited, and 1t, 2t, 3t and the like are only used for representing the multiple relation among the delay amounts. The waveguide cascade based on the chirped bragg grating must ensure that the bandwidths of all the cascade units are consistent, so the structural parameters of the short delay waveguide 1 to be cascaded and the non-cascaded short waveguide in the invention are the same except for the length of the waveguide.
The half-cascade method shown in fig. 8 and fig. 10 is an optimal solution, and in practical application, the half-cascade method is not limited to the cascade method in which the length of the waveguide to be cascaded in fig. 8 or fig. 10 is a certain specific multiple, and may be a hybrid method in which the multiple relationship is 1 time, 2 times, 3 times, or 4 times. As shown in fig. 11, waveguides having a length multiple relationship of 2 times and 3 times are used as waveguides to be cascaded, and a waveguide having a length of 1 time and a waveguide having a partial length of 2 times do not participate in the cascade.
