The embodiment of the present application discloses a kind of single-mode tapered
waveguide spectrum detection device and its detection method;The embodiment of the present application includes input
waveguide, it is configured to support single-mode propagation in target working
wavelength range, for receiving light to be measured and make it transmit in single-mode form;Tapered
waveguide, its input end is coupled with the output end of input waveguide, tapered waveguide has gradually changing cross-sectional dimension along the direction of
light propagation, and different wavelengths of light produce distinguishable leakage light in different axial positions when propagating in it;
Detector array is distributed along at least one side of tapered waveguide, for detecting the leakage
light intensity of tapered waveguide at different axial positions;Wherein, device is configured to output the spectral information of light to be measured based on the mapping relationship between preset
wavelength and axial position according to leakage
light intensity.It can realize high
spectral resolution and high spectral contrast while maintaining wide spectral range by the embodiment of the present application.
