Abstract

The invention discloses an etched diffraction grating-type wavelength division multiplexing/demultiplexing device. The etched diffraction grating-type wavelength division multiplexing/demultiplexing device includes an input waveguide, output waveguides, a free transmission slab waveguide region and an etched diffraction gratings; the input waveguide and the output waveguides are located at the same side of the free transmission slab waveguide region and are both connected with the free transmission slab waveguide region; the other side of the free transmission slab waveguide region is connected with the etched diffraction gratings; and grating surfaces of the etched diffraction gratings are of two-dimensional photonic crystal reflector structures. According to the etched diffraction grating-type wavelength division multiplexing/demultiplexing device of the invention, the two-dimensional photonic crystal reflector structures are adopted to replace grating surfaces of conventional etched diffraction gratings, and therefore, fabrication technique difficulty of the device can be effectively reduced, and large fresnel reflection loss between a grating medium and an air interface can be effectively decreased, thereby reducing the insertion loss of the device; full reflection of a single polarization mode can be realized, and full transmission of another polarization mode can be realized, and therefore, polarization maintaining of the device is maintained.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of optical communication wavelength division multiplexing, in particular to an etching diffraction grating type wavelength division multiplexing / demultiplexing device based on a photonic crystal mirror structure. Background technique [0002] The rapid popularization of the global Internet, the rise of fiber-to-the-home and home office, so that the communication capacity of the backbone network and local area Multiplexing to improve transmission efficiency, improve multiplexing efficiency, and expand transmission capacity is an inevitable choice for realizing large-capacity, high-speed optical fiber communication.
