Abstract

The invention discloses an optical delayer coupled through adopting multiple-mode interference, which adopts an all-pass filter structure; the all-pass filter structure is a structure of the sequent coupling of a plurality of micro ring resonant cavities and a bus waveguide, wherein the coupled segment between the micro ring resonant cavities and the bus waveguide is of a 2*2 multiple-mode interference coupler. Adopting the multiple-mode interference coupled structure, the invention can improve the coupling efficiency between the micro ring resonant cavities and the bus waveguide, and makes the optical delayer have wider operation bandwidth. The invention has high technical redundancy, is easy to manufacture, has small size, is suitable for dense integration, also has the characteristics of wide bandwidth and big time delay, the structural design with different splitting ratio increases the flexibility of the device application, and the delayer is suitable for being used as an optical buffer device of high-speed all-optical packet switching network in the future.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of optical buffering of an all-optical packet switching network, in particular to an optical delayer adopting multi-mode interference coupling. Background technique [0002] Optical buffering technology is an essential part of all-optical packet switching network. In the optical switching of network nodes, optical buffering is responsible for resolving conflicts and is the basic device for realizing optical-optical switching. The optical delay line is the most common optical buffer device, and its function is to extend the propagation path of light and generate optical delay. With the rapid increase of the speed and capacity of optical network information transmission, it is required that the optical delay device should have the characteristics of large delay, small size and large working bandwidth. Silicon-on-insulator (SOI) material is an excellent platform for monolithic photonic integration. The high re...
