Abstract

The invention discloses a silicon-based metamaterial optical star cross connector and a preparation method thereof. The connector comprises N input waveguides and N output waveguides, wherein each input waveguide and a corresponding output waveguide are positioned on the same straight line, and the obtained N straight lines cross one another at the same point O; the point O serves as a central point, a coupled region in the regular 2N-gonal shape is formed, and each side of the coupled region is perpendicular to the waveguide; patterns in the coupled region are in a 1 / 2N fan symmetry manner, 2N sector patterns are in axial symmetry, and the symmetry axis is a straight line on which the waveguides perpendicular to the sides are positioned; each sector comprises M circular pixels, and the state of the circular pixels is punched or non-punched. According to the connector disclosed by the invention, cross connection among more than three paths of optical waveguides can be simultaneously realized, and the connector has an extremely small size, that is, has the characteristic of high integration; the operation bandwidth is extremely wide, the port consistency is excellent, the added loss of each port is low, and the crosstalk is small.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of integrated photonic devices, and more specifically relates to a highly integrated silicon-based metamaterial device for realizing cross-connection of multiple optical waveguides and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] With the exponential growth of global information exchange, the requirements for high-speed and large-capacity communication systems are getting higher and higher. Optical interconnection technology is the most potential way to overcome communication network transmission bottlenecks. At the same time, the high integration of optical devices is becoming the general trend. Silicon-based optical devices are highly integrated and compatible with the CMOS platform, and are receiving more and more attention. How to reduce device size while still maintaining high performance has always been a major challenge in the field of silicon-based photonics. An optical cross-connect is an impo...
