Problems solved by technology

Among them, the tuning speed of Fabry-Perot filter, tunable filter based on mode coupling and liquid crystal tunable filter is not enough, the speed of temperature tuning structure of tunable filter based on semiconductor laser structure is very slow, most of fiber Bragg grating All are fixed filters, and only a few can be tuned slightly and slowly by temperature or mechanical stretching. The latter two cascaded adjustable filters are complex in design and difficult to integrate

Embodiment 1

[0022] The top layer of silicon with a thickness of 6 μm is selected as the material of the substrate and the semiconductor material layer. The top layer of silicon is used as the core layer of the semiconductor material layer and the optical waveguide. The oxide layer and the bottom layer of silicon together form the substrate, and the oxide layer serves as the bottom layer The role of the limiting layer. Ridge waveguides were then etched on the top silicon-on-insulator silicon using photolithography and etching, with the ridges 2 μm high and 3 μm wide. A Bragg grating with a grating period of 1 μm is etched on the ridge. Then, ion implantation is used to form two highly doped P + Area. After the above process is completed, a 3 μm silicon nitride layer is grown on the core layer, and finally the source, drain and gate are fabricated on the silicon nitride layer. Thus, a wavelength selective optical switch capable of fast wavelength selection and integratable can be complet...

Abstract

The invention discloses a Bragg grating and MOS structure based wavelength selection optical switch comprising a ridge-shaped waveguide structure, a grid, a source, a drain, an insulator material layer, a semiconductor material layer, a substrate and a MOS structure formed by two high doped areas. The semiconductor material layer which is the core layer of optical waveguide comprises a ridge-shaped waveguide structure with a Bragg grating structure, the insulator material layer is the top confining layer of the optical waveguide, and the substrate is the bottom confining layer. The invention which realizes the rapid selection of wavelength with simple structure and small component size using the combination of the Bragg grating and MOS structure is convenient for integration and extend with low costs as a result of the MOS compatibility of production process.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to optical components, in particular to a wavelength selective optical switch based on a Bragg grating and a MOS structure. Background technique [0002] As a control device for optical signals, the wavelength selective optical switch is one of the important devices in the field of optical communication. At present, there are mainly two ways to implement wavelength selective optical switches: the first one is the combination of wavelength division multiplexing / demultiplexing devices and space division switches. Common wavelength division multiplexing / demultiplexing devices mainly include arrayed waveguide grating type, DTF interference filter type, fused cone type, integrated optical waveguide type and fiber Bragg grating filter type. Commonly used optical space division switches mainly include mechanical type, photoelectric conversion type, composite waveguide type, total reflection type and laser diode gate switch. These wavel...
