本发明涉及电子通信领域,具体涉及一种弱相位漂移的铌酸锂波导。
铌酸锂是一种被广泛应用于光电器件的材料之一。铌酸锂的各项光电特性,如低操作电压、低传输损耗等优势,使之被用于制造多种光电器件,例如光波导、高速光调制器、光学变频器等等。近年来薄膜铌酸锂-绝缘体(Lithium Niobate-on-Insulator)的发展使兼容现代集成电路制造工艺的薄膜铌酸锂光波导被广泛研究。薄膜铌酸锂光波导可以被应用于高速光电器件,例如马赫-曾德尔光调制器以及微环共振器等。
调制器、光开关等集成光路器件需要一个合适的偏置工作点来进行正常工作,即给器件施加以合适的相位偏置点。举几个例子,铌酸锂调制器应用于光通信***中,需要降低误码率,这就需要基本稳定的偏置工作点;应用于CATV***时,干涉与需要在π/2相位偏置工作点附近才能获得最佳的线性度;应用于光开关时也需要合适的偏置电压来调整最大或最小的光透过率来映射零点或π相位偏置点。但是铌酸锂波导调制器的相位稳定性会受到一系列外部环境影响,例如外电场、机械力、温度等影响,使得调制相位发生漂移,进而使器件的直流偏置零点也发生幅度或大或小、频率或高或低的漂移。这种漂移会导致铌酸锂波导器件失效,限制了铌酸锂波导器件在实际环境下的应用。
