Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of ultrafast laser technology and semiconductor device technology, and in particular relates to a 2µm band GHz solid mode-locked device based on electrical regulation. Background Art

[0002] 2 µm band gigahertz (GHz) high repetition rate ultrafast laser has important application prospects in large-capacity free-space optical communications, optical frequency combs, ultra-high precision molecular spectroscopy and precision polymer processing. For example, as one of the important atmospheric transmission windows, this band has strong penetration of fog, smoke and dust, and GHz high repetition rate ultrafast laser can significantly improve the transmission capacity of optical signal processing systems, which has a great driving effect on the development of large-capacity free-space optical communication technology in the "last mile" of broadband networks.

[0003] There are three main ways to generate 2 µm-band GHz ultrashort pulses: The first is to convert the mature 1 µm band GHz ultrashort pulses to the 2 µm band through nonlinear frequency conversion technologies such as optical parametric oscillation (OPO). However, the characteristics of ultrafast laser emission, such as wide spectrum, short pulse duration, and high peak power, bring extremely high challenges to the strict phase matching and precise synchronization of pump light, signal light, and idler light in the process of ultrafast laser pumping OPO, and it is very easy to cause optical damage to nonlinear crystal materials, resulting in complex system structure, low reliability and life.

[0004] The second is based on Tm 3+ 、Ho 3+ Doped fiber mode-locking technology. Compared with OPO technology, this technology can realize the direct output of 2 µm band GHz ultrashort pulses from the oscillator, with simple system design and high conversion efficiency. However, rare earth ion doped 2 µm band GHz ultrafast fiber lasers still face the following challenges: (1) NPR mode locking is highly dependent on the nonlinear effect of the fiber and the polarization state of the light. Changes in the external environment temperature can cause the mode-locked laser to lose lock; (2) High-order harmonics of harmonic mode locking can easily cause pulse timing jitter and amplitude fluctuation, affecting the stability of the laser and the beam quality; (3) It is difficult to directly obtain high-output power fundamental frequency light femtosecond pulses. The short gain fiber required for GHz repetition rate depends on a high doping concentration, but the current high-doped fiber technology is not mature, which can easily lead to insufficient fiber uniformity. In addition, the strong nonlinear effect of the fiber itself, limited energy storage, and low damage threshold make it particularly difficult to obtain high-power 2 µm band GHz mode-locked femtosecond pulses directly from the fiber oscillator.

[0005] The third is based on Tm 3+ 、Ho 3+High-power solid-state mode-locked laser technology with doped crystals. Compared with 2 µm band optical fiber materials, the growth and preparation technology of laser crystals in this band in China has reached the international leading level. These laser crystals have the characteristics of high damage threshold, low nonlinear effect, low cost and high doping, which provides a strong guarantee for the realization of 2 µm band GHz high-power mode-locked femtosecond laser. At present, Tm 3+ 、Ho 3+ Important research progress has been made in solid-state mode-locked lasers with doped crystals. However, to date, there has been no report on 2 µm-band GHz solid-state femtosecond lasers with saturable absorber mode-locking. The reason for this is that, in addition to the immaturity of the 2 µm-band short-cavity mode-locking technology, there is a lack of 2 µm-band GHz solid-state mode-locked components with low saturation flux, fast saturation recovery time, and moderate modulation depth.

[0006] Summarizing the current research status, there are still many problems to be solved. The lack of 2 µm band GHz solid-state mode-locked elements with low saturation flux, fast saturation recovery time, and moderate modulation depth is the main reason why it is difficult to achieve 2 µm band solid-state GHz femtosecond lasers.

[0017] The present invention also provides a method for preparing a two-dimensional Bi2O2Se electro-optical modulation device, which is used to prepare a two-dimensional electro-optical modulation device in a 2 µm band GHz solid mode-locked device based on electrical control, and the process includes: Transfer the prepared two-dimensional Bi2O2Se to the surface of the high-reflection end mirror; Design electrode structure, determine channel length, and etch source, drain, and gate based on electron beam lithography technology; After etching, 5 nm thick chromium and 50 nm thick gold were evaporated in a vacuum environment to form highly conductive electrodes; Boron nitride thin film was prepared by mechanical exfoliation and transferred to the surface of the electrode layer as an insulating layer; Graphene was transferred to the top gate position using ice-assisted transfer technology to serve as the top gate electrode.

[0025] By regulating the Fermi level of two-dimensional materials through an external electric field, not only can the insertion loss of the device be effectively reduced, but also the dynamic process of photogenerated carriers and nonlinear absorption characteristics can be flexibly controlled, thereby achieving precise control of saturable absorption parameters (saturation recovery time, saturation flux, modulation depth).

[0041] The present invention also provides a method for preparing a two-dimensional Bi2O2Se electro-optical modulation device, which is used to prepare a two-dimensional electro-optical modulation device in a 2 µm band GHz solid mode-locked device based on electrical control, and the process includes: Transfer the prepared two-dimensional Bi2O2Se to the surface of the high-reflection end mirror; Design electrode structure, determine channel length, and etch source, drain, and gate based on electron beam lithography technology; After etching, 5 nm thick chromium and 50 nm thick gold were evaporated in a vacuum environment to form highly conductive electrodes; Boron nitride thin film was prepared by mechanical exfoliation and transferred to the surface of the electrode layer as an insulating layer; Graphene was transferred to the top gate position using ice-assisted transfer technology to serve as the top gate electrode.

[0042] As an additional implementation manner, the two-dimensional electro-optical modulation device 8 is a two-dimensional Bi2O2Se electro-optical modulation device.

[0043] During the experiment, the prepared two-dimensional Bi2O2Se was first transferred to the high-reflection end mirror, and then the appropriate electrode structure and channel length were designed. Then, the source, drain and gate were etched using electron beam exposure technology, 5 nm of chromium and 50 nm of gold were evaporated in a vacuum environment, and boron nitride was prepared as the insulating layer material by mechanical stripping and transferred to the device through a transfer table. In addition, in order to reduce the loss of incident light by the gold electrode, CVD-grown graphene was selected as the top gate electrode, and transferred through an ice-assisted scheme to prepare a two-dimensional electro-optical modulation device 8.

[0044] In this embodiment, the saturable absorption parameters of the two-dimensional Bi2O2Se are precisely and dynamically controlled by means of an external electric field, and the position and angle of the two-dimensional electro-optical modulation device 8 and the output mirror 9 are adjusted, so as to achieve a mode-locked laser output with a repetition frequency ≥1 GHz, an average power ≥300 mW and a pulse width ≤50 fs.

[0045] In this embodiment, the prepared two-dimensional Bi2O2Se is first transferred to the high-reflection end mirror. This step uses a precision transfer table to peel the Bi2O2Se from the original substrate and ensure that it is intactly attached to the surface of the high-reflection end mirror to ensure its good optical properties. In this process, Bi2O2Se, as a saturated absorption material, can provide excellent nonlinear absorption performance in subsequent electro-optical modulation.

[0046] Next, design a suitable electrode structure, including the source, drain and gate, and determine the channel length. The design of these electrode structures will affect the electrical performance of the device. In particular, the adjustment of the channel length can control the migration speed of electrons, thereby optimizing the response time and regulation ability of the device. After the design is completed, the source, drain and gate are precisely etched using electron beam lithography technology to form the required electrode structure. Electron beam lithography can control the generation of patterns at the nanoscale to ensure the accuracy of electrodes and channels.

[0047] Subsequently, an evaporation process is carried out in a vacuum environment, first evaporating 5 nm thick chromium as an adhesion layer, and then evaporating 50 nm thick gold to form a highly conductive electrode structure. The role of chromium is to ensure good adhesion between the metal layer and the substrate, while gold has excellent conductivity.

[0048] In order to achieve good light transmittance and ensure the gate voltage regulation effect, this embodiment uses boron nitride with a large dielectric constant as the insulating layer material. Boron nitride is prepared by mechanical stripping and accurately transferred to the device using a transfer table. The large dielectric constant of boron nitride can broaden the tuning range of the two-dimensional Bi2O2Se Fermi level, and good light transmittance helps to reduce the loss of the electro-optical modulation device.

[0049] In the next step, in order to reduce the loss of incident light by the gold electrode, this embodiment uses graphene as the top gate electrode. Graphene not only has excellent conductivity, but also has extremely high light transmittance, which can reduce light absorption loss and improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the device. Through ice-assisted transfer technology, graphene is accurately transferred to the specified position of the device, ensuring its good match with other structures.

[0050] Through the above steps, a two-dimensional electro-optical modulator was successfully prepared. In this example, by developing a two-dimensional Bi2O2Se electro-optical modulator with low saturation flux, fast recovery time and moderate modulation depth, high-performance 2 µm-band GHz solid-state mode-locked laser operation was finally achieved. This laser is suitable for high-speed optical communications, ultrafast lasers and other application scenarios.

[0051] According to the above specific implementations, the technical effects of the present invention can be summarized as follows: High-efficiency optical modulation performance: By using the two-dimensional material Bi2O2Se as a saturated absorber, it has excellent nonlinear absorption characteristics. By regulating its Fermi level with an external electric field, the parameters of saturated absorption can be flexibly adjusted to achieve efficient modulation of the saturated absorption characteristics of two-dimensional Bi2O2Se, and finally achieve 2 µm band GHz solid-state mode-locked laser operation. This laser meets the needs of high-speed optical communications and precision laser processing.

[0052] Low loss, high light transmittance: In order to reduce the loss of incident light by the electrode and the insulating layer, the present invention uses transparent and highly conductive graphene as the top gate electrode, and uses boron nitride with a large dielectric constant as the insulating layer. Compared with the traditional metal electrode and insulating layer SiO2, the use of graphene and boron nitride greatly reduces the light absorption loss, thereby improving the overall photoelectric conversion efficiency. This allows the device to maintain low energy loss when working with high-power lasers.

[0053] Flexible and adjustable saturation absorption parameters: By using an external electric field to control the two-dimensional Bi2O2Se, the saturation absorption parameters of the two-dimensional Bi2O2Se can be flexibly adjusted to adapt to different laser resonant cavity types. The flexible output parameters of the laser have strong adjustability.

[0054] In summary, the present invention significantly improves the optical control performance and stability of the mode-locked modulator, and by optimizing the device structure and materials, successfully breaks through the technical barrier of 2 µm band GHz solid mode locking, making it suitable for application scenarios such as large-capacity free-space optical communications and precision laser processing.

Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
