Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of silicon-based optoelectronics, and particularly to a reconfigurable and bidirectionally enhanced Fano resonator. Background Technology

[0002] A special phenomenon in optical resonance is the Fano resonance, which typically occurs when discrete local states and continuous states couple and interfere with each other, breaking the typical Lorentz symmetry of the spectral lines. Fano resonance spectral lines exhibit significant asymmetry, often displaying a very steep shape, with an extremely small wavelength difference between the power peaks and troughs, meaning the spectral line slope is very large. It is precisely because of the steep characteristics of the Fano resonance spectral lines that they hold great promise for applications in numerous scenarios, including ultra-low power optical switches, highly sensitive optical sensing, real-time microwave frequency monitoring, and optical time-domain differentiation.

[0003] In recent years, Fano resonance phenomena based on various structures such as photonic crystals, plasmonic nanostructures, slit waveguides, grating-assisted microrings, and cascaded microrings have been reported. However, the resonance spectral lines of these Fano resonators cannot be precisely controlled and tuned, and the fabrication processes of structures such as photonic crystals are complex, making it difficult to form resonant cavities with high quality factors, thus hindering the formation of steep spectral lines with large slopes. Therefore, achieving precise control and reconfigurability of Fano resonance spectral lines, and providing multi-directionally enhanced Fano resonance spectral lines within a single device, is crucial for studying and improving the performance of Fano resonators, and is currently a research hotspot in academia and industry.

[0038] Figure 3 A schematic diagram of a reconfigurable and bidirectionally enhanced Fano resonator according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown in reverse transmission.

[0039] like Figure 3 As shown, in the case of reverse transmission:

[0040] The second transmission waveguide 4 or the third transmission waveguide 5 is configured to input off-chip optical signals, meaning the off-chip optical signals can be input from either the second transmission waveguide 4 or the third transmission waveguide 5. The upper and lower channel micro-ring resonators 3 with embedded Mach-Zehnder interferometers are configured to perform Fano resonance on the off-chip optical signals, resulting in a fourth optical signal a2 and a fifth optical signal b2. The hot electrode 6 on the waveguide is configured to perform phase adjustment on the fifth optical signal b2, resulting in a sixth optical signal c2. The 1-to-2 coupler 2 is configured to combine the fourth optical signal a2 and the sixth optical signal c2, resulting in a third Fano resonance spectral line. The first transmission waveguide 1 is configured to output the third Fano resonance spectral line.

[0041] Continue reading Figures 1-3 In some embodiments, the microring resonator 3 with an embedded Mach-Zehnder interferometer includes: a ring waveguide 7, a ring-on-ring thermoelectric electrode 8, and a Mach-Zehnder interferometer 9. The ring-on-ring thermoelectric electrode 8 is arranged above the ring waveguide 7, and the Mach-Zehnder interferometer 9 is embedded in the ring waveguide 7 and connected to the ring waveguide 7.

[0042] The ring waveguide 7 is configured to achieve optical field resonance and Fano resonance under two-beam interference. The ring-mounted thermoelectrode 8 is configured to change the resonant wavelength position of the upper and lower channel micro-ring resonators 3 of the embedded Mach-Zehnder interferometer. The Mach-Zehnder interferometer 9 is configured to turn the optical field resonance and Fano resonance states on or off.

[0043] In some embodiments, the Mach-Zehnder interferometer 9 includes two waveguide coupling regions 10, two arms 11 of the Mach-Zehnder interferometer, and hot electrodes 12 on the arms of the Mach-Zehnder interferometer, the hot electrodes 12 being arranged above the arms 11. The two waveguide coupling regions 10 are configured for evanescent wave coupling in the propagation of the optical field, the two arms 11 of the Mach-Zehnder interferometer are configured for optical field propagation, and the hot electrodes 12 on the arms of the Mach-Zehnder interferometer are configured to, in conjunction with the hot electrodes 6 on the waveguides, control at least one of the extinction ratio, slope, and shape of the Fano resonance spectral lines, wherein the Fano resonance spectral lines include a first Fano resonance spectral line, a second Fano resonance spectral line, or a third Fano resonance spectral line.

[0044] Furthermore, the Mach-Zehnder interferometer's dual arms 11 consist of two waveguides of equal length. The thermoelectric electrodes 12 on the arms are positioned above one of the waveguides. In other words, the embedded Mach-Zehnder interferometer 9 is composed of two waveguide coupling regions 10 cascaded with two waveguides of equal length. The two waveguides of equal length are configured for optical field propagation under equidistant transmission, providing the Mach-Zehnder interferometer 9 with a working bandwidth exceeding a preset threshold. This preset threshold is determined based on the actual application scenario.

[0045] In some embodiments, the first transmission waveguide 1, the second transmission waveguide 4, and the third transmission waveguide 5 can be connected to a grating coupler or an end-face coupler, and the on-chip optical signal is coupled into the first transmission waveguide 1, the second transmission waveguide 4, and the third transmission waveguide 5 through the grating coupler or the end-face coupler.

[0046] In some embodiments, the fabrication of a reconfigurable and bidirectionally enhanced Fano resonator is based on silicon, silicon dioxide, or silicon nitride as the core material.

[0047] To more clearly describe the reconfigurable and bidirectionally enhanced Fano resonator provided by the present invention, a specific example is given below.

[0048] In this example, a silicon nanowire optical waveguide based on silicon insulator (SOI) material is selected to prepare a Fano resonator based on an embedded Mach-Zehnder interferometer for the upper and lower channel micro-ring resonators 3. The core layer is made of silicon material with a thickness of 220 nm and a refractive index of 3.4744. The waveguide width is 500 nm, and the thermo-optic effect is used to change the phase of the waveguide.

[0049] A 50:50 splitting ratio 1-to-2 coupler 2 is selected for beam splitting and combining. The upper and lower channel micro-ring resonators 3 of the embedded Mach-Zehnder interferometer have a radius of 30 μm. The waveguide coupling region 10 in the embedded Mach-Zehnder interferometer 9 is designed with a 50:50 coupling ratio. The two arms of the Mach-Zehnder interferometer are composed of rings with a radius of 10 μm, and the arm length is 94.25 μm. In addition, the coupling interval between the silicon-based straight waveguide and the silicon-based curved waveguide is 240 nm, and the waveguide coupling region 10 in the embedded Mach-Zehnder interferometer 9 is also spaced at 240 nm.

[0050] Figure 4 The diagram illustrates the reconfigurable and bidirectionally enhanced Fano resonator according to an embodiment of the present invention, showing the resonant spectrum changes of the two output ports as a function of the phase difference on the waveguide arm during positive output.

[0051] like Figure 4 As shown, when the phase change on arm 9 of the embedded Mach-Zehnder interferometer is fixed at π, changing the phase change introduced by the thermoelectric electrode 6 on the waveguide can change the phase difference between the two beams entering the upper and lower micro-ring resonators 3 of the embedded Mach-Zehnder interferometer, thereby adjusting the extinction ratio, slope and shape of the Fano resonance spectrum. At the same time, the outputs from both ends of the second transmission waveguide 4 and the third transmission waveguide 5 are both finely adjustable Fano resonance spectra.

[0052] Figure 5 The diagram illustrates the reconfigurable and bidirectionally enhanced Fano resonator according to an embodiment of the present invention, showing the changes in the resonance spectrum of the two output ports as a function of the phase difference on the arm of the in-ring Mach-Zehnder interferometer during positive output.

[0053] like Figure 5 As shown, when the phase change introduced by the hot electrode 6 on the fixed waveguide is 0.5π, changing the phase change on the arm of the embedded Mach-Zehnder interferometer 9 can change the switching of the internal state of the micro-ring resonator 3 of the upper and lower channels of the embedded Mach-Zehnder interferometer, thereby adjusting the extinction ratio, slope and shape of the Fano resonance spectrum. At the same time, the outputs of the second transmission waveguide 4 and the third transmission waveguide 5 are also finely adjustable Fano resonance spectra.

[0054] Figure 6 The diagram illustrates the resonant spectrum variation of a single output port of a reconfigurable and bidirectionally enhanced Fano resonator according to an embodiment of the present invention, caused by the phase difference on the waveguide arm, during reverse output, and the resonant spectrum variation curve caused by the phase difference on the arm of an inlaid Mach-Zehnder interferometer.

[0055] like Figure 6 As shown, the reconfigurable and bidirectionally enhanced Fano resonator in this example can also achieve multidimensional fine control of the Fano resonance spectrum through thermoelectric combination modulation when the input is reversed.

[0056] Combination Figures 4-6 It can be seen that the Fano resonator in this example can achieve multidimensional fine-tuning of the Fano resonance spectral lines by controlling the thermoelectrode combination. Therefore, the Fano resonator based on an embedded Mach-Zehnder interferometer microring resonator provided in this embodiment of the invention can achieve fine-tuning of the Fano resonance spectral lines by controlling the thermoelectrode combination; simultaneously, regardless of whether light is input from the forward or reverse propagation direction, this Fano resonator can achieve a Fano resonance spectrum with adjustable shape and parameters. Furthermore, it increases the reconfigurability dimension of the Fano resonance device, provides a bidirectional enhanced Fano resonance spectrum, and has advantages such as simple design, easy fabrication, and compact structure, making it suitable for mass production.

[0057] Based on the same inventive concept, embodiments of the present invention also provide an optoelectronic device, including a reconfigurable and bidirectionally enhanced Fano resonator as described above.
