Abstract

The invention provides a phase difference measurement device for a waveguide array. The device comprises a monitoring waveguide, an off-chip coupler and a detector, wherein the monitoring waveguide isdisposed between adjacent array waveguides; a coupled light beam is formed between the monitoring waveguide and the array waveguides through an evanescent wave; the coupled light beam is transmittedto the detector through the off-chip coupler; and the detector converts the coupled light beam and outputs a current signal. The power extraction and beam combination are realized through a single waveguide; the interference power is measured by the detector; the structure is compact; and the device is conveniently disposed at the output end of a phased array chip or near an antenna to achieve accurate phase difference measurement.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of waveguide arrays, in particular to a phase difference measurement device and a measurement method for waveguide arrays. Background technique [0002] The output beam scanning of the phased array chip is realized by dynamically adjusting the phase difference between the array waveguides. The phase difference is determined by three factors: the wavelength of the input light, the effective refractive index of the waveguide, and the length of the waveguide. The modulation of the phase difference can be realized by adjusting the effective refractive index of the waveguide, or adjusting the wavelength of the incident light by using a wavelength-tunable laser. [0003] Due to the limitation of chip processing conditions, the initial phase difference between different waveguides in the arrayed waveguide is randomly distributed. Before scanning the beam direction, the phase difference correction needs to be perfor...
