Abstract

The invention provides a graphene and nano antenna array-based tunable directional coupler, which comprises a nano antenna array, a first graphene layer and a waveguide, wherein the nano antenna arrayis arranged on the upper surface of the first graphene layer; the first graphene layer is arranged above the waveguide; the nano antenna array is used for highly and directionally coupling an opticalsignal component meeting a preset polarization direction in free space and in a tunable directional coupler working band to a specific mode in the waveguide; and the first graphene layer is used forchanging the working wavelength of the tunable directional coupler under effects of external voltage. According to the graphene and nano antenna array-based tunable directional coupler provided in theinvention, as the first graphene layer is used for changing the working wavelength of the tunable directional coupler under effects of external voltage, high-speed and real-time tuning on the workingwavelength of the tunable directional coupler can be realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of integrated optics and nano-optics, and more specifically, to a tunable directional coupling device based on graphene and nano-antenna arrays. Background technique [0002] In integrated optics and nano-optics, miniaturizing various optoelectronic devices and integrating them on optoelectronic chips to realize the processing and operation of optical signal components is the current hot spot and frontier in scientific research and industry. Among them, how to flexibly and effectively couple the optical signal component in free space to the guided mode field in the dielectric optical waveguide is a crucial issue. In addition, with the rapid development of science and technology, the amount of communication information transmission has increased rapidly. Optical communication is widely used due to its advantages of broadband, large capacity, reliable performance, strong anti-interference and confidentiality....
