Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present disclosure relates to the fields of optoelectronic integration and optical communication technology, and in particular to a two-dimensional grating coupler. Background Art
[0002] Integrated silicon-based photonics systems have become a core platform for high-speed optical interconnects due to their high bandwidth, low crosstalk, and compatibility with CMOS processes. Grating couplers, as key interfaces for on-chip optical input / output, are widely used for chip-level optoelectronic system testing and signal transmission due to their advantages such as small size and planar coupling.
[0003] However, traditional silicon-based grating couplers face two major bottlenecks: first, mode field mismatch. The Gaussian mode field of a single-mode fiber is difficult to match with the grating's diffraction field, significantly reducing coupling efficiency. Existing solutions rely on custom gratings for fibers with varying core diameters. These static gratings require high manufacturing precision and are complex to fabricate. Once fabricated, they cannot dynamically compensate for temperature drift, manufacturing variations, or changes in fiber mode size.
[0004] The second is polarization sensitivity. The one-dimensional grating coupler can only efficiently couple a single polarization state (such as TE mode), and the coupling efficiency for orthogonal polarization states (TM mode) drops sharply. Summary of the Invention

[0032] like Figure 1As shown, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a two-dimensional grating coupler, characterized by comprising: a silicon waveguide layer 2, configured to receive an optical signal and couple the optical signal according to a first optical field coupling coefficient and a second optical field coupling coefficient to obtain a first coupled optical signal and a second coupled optical signal, and then output the first coupled optical signal and the second coupled optical signal along a first direction and a second direction, respectively, wherein the inverse extension lines of the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other; a first organic electro-optical material layer 1, disposed above the silicon waveguide layer, wherein a plurality of first electrodes 101 are disposed on both sides of the first organic electro-optical material layer parallel to the first direction, wherein any first electrode 101 on one side of the two sides is combined with a first electrode 101 on the other side to form a first electrode pair, and the first electrode pair is used to adjust the first optical field coupling coefficient; and a second organic electro-optical material layer 3, disposed below the silicon waveguide layer, wherein a plurality of second electrodes 301 are disposed on both sides of the second organic electro-optical material layer parallel to the second direction, wherein any second electrode 301 on one side of the two sides is combined with a second electrode 301 on the other side to form a second electrode pair, and the second electrode pair is used to adjust the second optical field coupling coefficient.
[0033] In some embodiments, the materials of the first organic electro-optical material layer 1 and the second organic electro-optical material layer 3 are both organic electro-optical materials with a side chain / host-guest system, including, for example, PMMA+DR1, PMMA+YLD124, PMMA+DLD164, and PVT copolymers with a side chain / host-guest system.

[0041] Figure 4 The structure of a silicon waveguide layer according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is schematically shown.
[0042] According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, Figure 4 As shown, the x-axis direction marked in the figure is used as the first direction, and the y-axis direction marked in the figure is used as the second direction. The silicon waveguide layer in the embodiment of the present disclosure includes: an output waveguide 201, a transition waveguide 202, and a two-dimensional grating 203. The two-dimensional grating 203 is in contact with the plurality of first organic electro-optical rectangular structures 102 and the plurality of second organic electro-optical rectangular structures 302. The short end face of the transition waveguide 202 is connected to the output waveguide 201, and the long end face of the transition waveguide 202 is connected to the two-dimensional grating 203. The width of the transition waveguide 202 gradually narrows along the two-dimensional grating 203 toward the output waveguide 201.
[0043] In some embodiments, the embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit the shapes of the transition waveguide 202 and the output waveguide 201 , and relevant personnel in this field can make corresponding adjustments to obtain the required device size.

The grating period of the two-dimensional grating 203 can range from 0.5 μm to 1.5 μmm.
[0045] Figure 5 The structure of a two-dimensional grating coupler according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is schematically shown.
[0046] In some embodiments, as Figure 5 As shown, the two-dimensional grating coupler in the embodiment of the present application further includes: a first reflective layer 4, which is arranged above the first organic optoelectronic material layer 1, and the first reflective layer 4 is used to couple the optical signal to the silicon waveguide layer 2, and reflect part of the optical signal reflected by the silicon waveguide layer 2 to the top of the silicon waveguide layer 2 back to the silicon waveguide layer 2.
[0047] In some embodiments, the first reflective layer 4 may include two reflective layers. The above number of reflective layers is only for example. It should be ensured that the number of reflective layers in the first reflective layer is greater than or equal to two.
[0048] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the two-dimensional grating coupler in the embodiment of the present application further includes: a coupling optical fiber 5, which is arranged above the first reflective layer 4, and the coupling optical fiber 5 is used to transmit the optical signal to the silicon waveguide layer 2.
[0049] Please continue reading Figure 5 In some embodiments, the coupling optical fiber 5 is disposed above the first reflective layer 4 , and a projection of the incident direction of the coupling optical fiber 5 within the plane where the first direction and the second direction are located is located within the second quadrant.
[0050] In the disclosed embodiment, a voltage adjustment device can also be used to determine the fiber mode field distribution based on the size and position of the coupling fiber 5, thereby determining the voltage between the two first electrodes 101 of the first organic electro-optical material layer 1 and the target voltage between the two second electrodes 301 of the second organic electro-optical material layer 3. The voltage between the two first electrodes 101 of the first organic electro-optical material layer 1 and the voltage between the two second electrodes 301 of the second organic electro-optical material layer 3 are adjusted so that the first electrode 101 and the second electrode 301 pair can change the effective refractive index of the two-dimensional grating 203 through the electro-optic effect, thereby changing the coupling coefficient of the diffracted light field of the two-dimensional grating 203.
[0051] The voltages of the two first electrodes 101 of the first organic electro-optical material layer 1 and the two second electrodes 301 of the second organic electro-optical material layer 3 can also be dynamically adjusted according to the diameter, tilt angle and position of the coupling optical fiber 5, so as to adjust the refractive index of the first organic electro-optical material rectangular structure 102 and the second organic electro-optical material rectangular structure 302, thereby changing the refractive index of the two-dimensional grating 203 along the first direction and the second direction, and then adjusting the coupling coefficient of the diffraction light field of the two-dimensional grating 203 along the first direction and the second direction, so that its diffraction mode field distribution matches the mode field of the coupling optical fiber 5 as much as possible, thereby improving the coupling efficiency of the grating coupler.
[0052] Specifically, when the diameter, tilt angle, and position of the coupling optical fiber 5 change, the coupling coefficients of the various portions of the coupling grating 5 in the first and second directions can be adjusted by redistributing the voltages between the first electrode pair of the first organic electro-optical material layer 1 and the second electrode pair of the second organic electro-optical material layer 3, thereby improving the coupling efficiency. In practical applications, the voltage adjustment mechanism can sequentially adjust the voltage applied between the first electrode pair and the voltage applied between the second electrode pair based on the actual position and tilt angle of the coupling optical fiber 5, while simultaneously measuring the intensity of the optical fiber output light. When the coupled light is strongest, the voltages applied between the first electrode pair and the voltage applied between the second electrode pair are the target voltages.
[0053] In a possible embodiment, the coupling grating 5 may also be a non-uniform grating, that is, the width, height, grating period and duty cycle of the coupling grating 5 along different directions may be different.
[0054] Please continue reading Figure 5 According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the two-dimensional grating coupler further includes: a protective layer 7 , which is disposed above the first reflective layer 4 , the first organic electro-optical material layer 1 and the silicon waveguide layer 2 .
[0055] Please continue reading Figure 5 The two-dimensional grating coupler in the embodiment of the present application further includes: a second reflective layer 6, which is arranged below the second organic electro-optical material layer 3, and the second reflective layer 6 is used to reflect part of the light signal reflected by the silicon waveguide layer 2 to the bottom of the silicon waveguide layer 2 back to the silicon waveguide layer 2.
[0056] In some embodiments, the second reflective layer 6 is disposed on the surface of the substrate 8 , and the second reflective layer 6 may be a metal reflector or a distributed Bragg reflector.
