Problems solved by technology

The main problems of this kind of optical waveguide amplifier are: first, the surface effect of nanoparticles is easy to cause clusters and concentration quenching, resulting in the up-conversion luminescence of the device, and the up-conversion luminescence is not conducive to the amplification of signal light; second, due to SiO2, The existence of inorganic components such as LaF3 makes it difficult to prepare rectangular waveguides by dry etching

Abstract

The invention discloses a manufacturing method for a waveguide amplifier with an erbium-doped tantalum oxide ridge structure. The amplifier made by the method comprises a substrate, a silica lower cladding, an erbium-doped lithium niobate film layer, a silica buffer layer, an erbium-doped tantalum oxide ridge waveguide structure, and a silica upper cladding. A silicon substrate lithium niobate film is used as a chip. The erbium-doped tantalum oxide whose refractive index is close to the refractive index of the lithium niobate is used as the ridge structure. In a communication band, through amplification effect of erbium ions, optical loss caused by processes of optical transmission and modulation can be made up. Compared with a dry etching technology, the manufactured ridge structure is low in process cost, and high in finished product rate, and stability of a device is improved. The manufacturing method is advantaged by simple manufacturing process, small device dimensions, small bending radius, and good stability.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of optical communication, and in particular relates to a preparation method of a waveguide amplifier with an erbium-doped tantalum oxide ridge structure. Background technique [0002] In the 21st century with the rapid development of science and technology, information network has become an indispensable part of people's life. The application of the network is more and more extensive, and the speed and capacity of the traditional electro-optical network can no longer meet people's needs. Optical fiber communication technology has become a new direction for the development of communication technology by virtue of its advantages of wide frequency band, low loss, immunity to electromagnetic wave interference and abundant resources. [0003] In actual optical fiber communication, loss phenomena such as absorption, scattering and bending inevitably exist. At present, the loss coefficient of the general standard...
