The invention belongs to the technical field of
millimeter wave photoelectric devices, and particularly relates to a double-line
waveguide polarization rotator model design method. The method comprises the following steps: collecting polarization rotation parameters including a target rotation angle, a working
frequency band and an
insertion loss requirement; the method comprises the steps that
simulation software is used for building a geometric model, simulating
metal wires and multiple
dielectric layers sequentially surrounding from inside to outside, a double-wire
waveguide basic model is built, the two
metal wires are parallel and not coplanar and form a
waveguide structure, ports are set as optical
signal input and output ends, the rotation angle and the optimal length of the
metal wires are adjusted, and a three-
dimensional simulation model is built; after mode analysis
verification, a model entity is obtained through 3D printing, the polarization state and the polarization
extinction ratio are tested, and the performance is evaluated; and finally, iterative optimization is carried out until the optimal rotation angle is obtained. The method supports flexible regulation and control of the polarization rotation angle, the influence of external factors on the performance is small, efficient and accurate control over the light polarization state can be achieved, and the method is suitable for the fields of terahertz communication, imaging and the like.
