Abstract

The invention discloses a method of manufacturing a ZnO strip optical waveguide by a combination of carbon ion beam irradiation and lithography, which belongs to the technical field of optoelectronicdevice manufacturing. Optical polishing is carried out on the surface and two end surfaces of single crystal ZnO, a strip mask is manufactured on the surface of a sample, carbon ion beam irradiation is then carried out, a photoresist mask is cleaned, and a channel strip optical waveguide is obtained; or, carbon ion beam irradiation is firstly used, the photoresist mask is then made, an Ar ion beamis then used for etching, and a rib optical waveguide is obtained. The formed strip optical waveguide can well keep the optical features of the ZnO crystal and has a hidden application value in aspects of manufacturing of an optical switch and an optical modulator.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing single crystal optical waveguide, which is suitable for preparing ZnO strip optical waveguide by carbon ion beam irradiation. The invention relates to a waveguide preparation method belonging to the field of optoelectronic devices. technical background [0002] As the basic unit of integrated optics, optical waveguide is also the basis of all-optical network. Optical waveguide plays an important role in the manufacture of various optical devices due to its unique performance, high integration and low cost of mass production. Optical waveguides can confine light beams to a smaller area to increase optical density, thereby making better use of the optical properties of crystals or reducing the pumping threshold of optical materials, which are of great value for optical signal transmission, amplification, and modulation. A planar light guide is one in which light is constrained in one direction, while a str...
