摘要
基于光学薄膜的偏振效应和多光束干涉效应设计了由多层二氧化钛(TiO2)-二氧化硅(SiO2)薄膜结构组成的偏振分束片,提出了在聚合物光波导中混合集成的方案,并采用时域有限差分(FDTD)数值法优化了方案中的结构设计。在聚合物材料基底上制备了TiO2-SiO2 多层薄膜偏振分束片,并将此薄膜偏振分束片嵌入聚合物光波导的沟槽中,从而实现了结构紧凑的偏振分束器。而后对此混合集成偏振分束器进行了实验表征,实验表明该器件在C波段上的插入损耗低于2.5 dB,偏振消光比大于25 dB。这样混合集成的偏振分束器不仅可用于现有的偏振控制光学系统中,而且充分发挥了薄膜偏振分束片的优势,可为实现小型化、高度集成的偏振分束器提供新方案和更多的自由度。
Abstract
Based on the polarization effects and multiple- beam interference effects of optical thin films, a polarization beam splitter (PBS) consisting of multiple TiO2-SiO2 thin film layers is designed, then the hybridintegration scheme within an optical waveguide is proposed and the integration structure is optimized with finite- different time- domain (FDTD) numerical method. The hybrid integration is realized as follows. The multiple TiO2- SiO2 thin film layers are deposited on a substrate made of polymer material, while a slot is fabricated in the polymer waveguide. The thin film element is then inserted in this slot to assemble a compact and hybridly integrated PBS. This hybrid integrated PBS is also characterized experimentally. The results show that, in the C-band (1530 nm to 1565 nm), the device insertion loss is smaller than 2.5 dB, and the polarization splitting ratio is higher than 25 dB. Such a hybridly integrated PBS can be used in present polarization-control optical systems. It also exploits the advantages of the thin film polarization element, thus provides novel schemes and more degrees of freedom, to realize miniaturized and densely integrated PBS.
