Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of communication modes, in particular to a general-purpose silicon-based integrated optical waveguide mode converter. Background technique [0002] In recent years, with the increasing demand of the human society for the data transmission capacity and bandwidth of the communication network, the traditional integrated circuit technology has begun to show a tendency to fail to meet people's needs, while the all-optical communication technology can avoid the photoelectric conversion process. Problems such as noise, bit error and power consumption can greatly improve the transmission capacity and bandwidth of communication, so it develops rapidly. Silicon-based photonic technology has become a research hotspot in the field of photonic integration due to its advantages such as large refractive index difference between silicon waveguide core and cladding, processing technology compatible with traditional CMOS tech...
