Problems solved by technology

However, this system requires a relatively harsh and complex resonance design, that is, the two microcavity modes between the two waveguides must be completely degenerate, which may bring great difficulties to device fabrication.
The four-port system also has a structural disadvantage, that is, it is not easy to carry out large-scale multi-wavelength add / drop integration.
However, this chirped photonic crystal structure involves many air hole radius changes, which may lead to greater fabrication difficulties
In addition, this structure is a static structure, which does not realize the short coupling length and high extinction ratio in the "on" and "off" states of the optical switch.

Abstract

The invention relates to a reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexer based on a two-dimensional photonic crystal, comprising an upper end waveguide, a lower end waveguide, an upward road waveguide, a downward road waveguide, and a bend waveguide connecting the upward road waveguide and the downward road waveguide, wherein the upper end waveguide, the upward road waveguide and the downward road waveguide are respectively connected through an upward road micro-cavity and a downward road micro-cavity; a wavelength selective reflection micro-cavity is positioned between the upward road micro-cavity and the downward road micro-cavity; resonance frequencies of the three micro-cavities are the same; a ratio of Q factors of the upward road micro-cavity and the downward road micro-cavity and distances between the upward road micro-cavity and corresponding wavelength selective micro-cavity thereof and between the downward road micro-cavity and corresponding wavelength selective micro-cavity thereof meet a certain phase relationship towards the direction of the upper end waveguide, thereby implementing a complete translation of energy among the upper end waveguide, the upward road waveguide and the downward road waveguide; an add-drop multiplexer is formed together by three micro-cavities, the upper end waveguide, the upward road micro-cavity and the downward road micro-cavity, and the bend waveguide and the lower end waveguide are in a parallel placement at a short range to form a 2 multiplied by 2 directional coupling optical switch which is divided into a central coupling area, a decoupling area and an intermediate transitional chirp area, and radiuses of a dielectric cylinder close to the waveguides in the chirp area are gradually changed. The reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexer of the invention has the advantages of small size and high integration.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a reconfigurable optical add / drop multiplexer based on two-dimensional photonic crystals, which is suitable for optical fiber communication systems and ring networks. Background technique [0002] At present, the explosive growth of data traffic in optical network nodes has caused the optical network to rapidly increase the transmission capacity of the network itself. Wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) technology can effectively use the bandwidth of optical fiber to realize large-capacity, long-distance optical fiber communication, and can increase the number of services in the user distribution system. It has been widely used in optical fiber communication systems. The optical add / drop multiplexer (OADM) allows wavelength signals to be added and dropped at optical network nodes, and is a key device for building a WDM optical communication system. Among these OADMs, a reconfigurable optical add / drop multiplexer (ROADM) can...
