Problems solved by technology

[0003] At present, the main materials used for on-chip infrared waveguides include germanium, silicon, and chalcogenides. Among them, germanium waveguides not only have a large loss in infrared waveguides, but also have a transmission band mainly after 3 μm, excluding communication bands, while silicon waveguides have serious two-photon In addition to large absorption and loss, there are also problems such as transmission band restrictions and difficulty in preparation
[0004] Chalcogenide waveguide is an amorphous material formed by covalent bonds of sulfur, selenium, tellurium and some other metal and non-metallic materials, which has a very wide transmission band (fro

Abstract

The invention relates to the field of micro-nano machining for on-chip waveguides, in particular to a preparation method of a low loss infrared high-nonlinearity optical waveguide. The preparation method comprises the following steps: S1, analyzing the light wave transmission characteristics of a sulfur-series optical waveguide in an infrared band; S2, analyzing the influences of various parameters of electron beam exposure and the types of electron beam resists on the preparation of the sulfur-series waveguide, selecting appropriate exposure parameters and an appropriate type of electron beamresist for mask preparation, and carrying out plasma reactive etching to realize the preparation of the waveguide; S3, secondly, realizing the growth of a polymer cladding through a spin-coating method; and S4, finally, smoothening the side wall of the waveguide again in combination with a cladding thermal annealing process, and carrying out loss testing by a cut-back method. Through optimizationof the electron beam exposure and adjustment of the etching parameters of a plasma reaction in combination with the thermal annealing process, the preparation of an ultra-low-loss on-chip sulfur-series waveguide is realized. The preparation method is suitable for the preparation of a large-scale high-nonlinearity photonic integrated device.
