Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to silicon-based silicon dioxide stress optical waveguide devices, which are used to realize the polarization insensitivity of this type of waveguide, in particular to silicon-based silicon dioxide arrayed waveguide gratings (AWG), optical switches and Mach-Zehnder interference ( MZI) type devices are not polarization sensitive. Background technique [0002] Silicon-based silica optical waveguide is an optical waveguide formed by depositing silicon dioxide on a silicon substrate first and then etching. Because the thermal expansion coefficients of silicon dioxide and silicon substrate are inconsistent, the prepared waveguide has stress asymmetry. The optical waveguide exhibits a large stress birefringence with a birefringence index of about 10 -4 order of magnitude, and general devices are required to be insensitive to polarization, and the birefringence index of the entire waveguide needs to be reduced to 10 -5 Therefore, reali...
