Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of laser micromachining, and relates to a preparation device and method for femtosecond laser etching waveguide gratings. Background technique [0002] The long-period waveguide grating has a long-period grating structure (a grating with a period of tens to hundreds of microns). According to the mode coupling theory, LPWG can couple the guided mode energy transmitted from the optical waveguide to the lithium niobate substrate, resulting in a wavelength-dependent Correlated transmission loss, showing very good band-stop filtering characteristics. Its working principle is that light of a certain wavelength range is input into the input waveguide of the LPWG. Due to the effect of the long-period grating perpendicular to the waveguide, only the light of the resonant wavelength that satisfies the phase matching condition can pass through the guided mode and the lithium niobate substrate. The optical energy of th...
