The application discloses a filter based on a multi-mode subwavelength
grating. The filter comprises a mode
demultiplexer for
multiplexing and demultiplexing of a base mode and a high-order mode, a subwavelength
grating for weakly binding regulation of a mode field of the base mode and the high-order mode, and a straight-through
waveguide for output of the base mode. The application introduces a structure of the subwavelength
grating and weakly binding regulation of the mode field, and by virtue of excellent flat dispersion regulation characteristics, the application realizes
apodization of the grating while keeping consistent local
refractive index of the grating, thereby obtaining the filter with high side mode suppression ratio and no
free spectral range limitation, and the filter can realize flat and low-loss
spectral response, meets the next-generation large-capacity and high-speed
wavelength division
multiplexing transmission demand, and has the advantages of simple structure, simple process, excellent performance and the like.
