Abstract

A method for preparing an on-chip electrically-modulated high-quality film micro-optical device comprises the steps of plating the surface of a film with a metal layer, selectively ablating a metal film by femtosecond laser, performing chemical mechanical polishing, plating the surface with a dielectric film package, and performing electrode preparation. The on-chip micro-optical device prepared by the method of the present invention has extremely high surface smoothness and extremely low optical loss, and can be electro-optically modulated or electro-thermally modulated by an electrode. The method is suitable for preparing high-quality electrically-modulated micro-optical structures (including but not limited to micro ring cavity, optical waveguide and its coupling devices) on various on-chip films (including but not limited to lithium niobate monocrystal films, quartz films, silicon films, silicon dioxide films, diamond films and the like).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to femtosecond laser processing and chemical mechanical polishing, in particular to a method for preparing on-chip electrically adjustable microstructures (including microcavity disks, microrings, optical waveguides and their integrated structures) using femtosecond laser processing combined with chemical mechanical polishing . This method is applicable to various on-chip thin film materials, including but not limited to lithium niobate single crystal thin film, quartz thin film, silicon thin film, silicon dioxide thin film, diamond thin film and the like. Background technique [0002] Micro-optical devices refer to micro-structured optical devices with a structure size above the submicron level and a surface roughness up to the nanometer level. On-chip micro-optical devices generally significantly increase the interaction between light and matter by localizing the light field in space and even in time. In basic research ...
