DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0054] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention.
[0055] The present invention provides an integrated optical tweezers, comprising:
[0056] A gain chip 1, used to serve as a laser gain source in an external cavity laser system;
[0057] The silicon-based optical chip 2 is integrated with the gain chip 1 in a heterogeneous manner;
[0058] The silicon-based optical chip 2 includes an end face coupler 201, a 2×2 multi-mode interference coupler 202, a micro-ring filter, a plurality of 1×2 multi-mode interference couplers 206 and a plurality of antenna transmitting array elements;
[0059] The end coupler 201 is connected to the output end of the gain chip 1, and is used to receive the light beam generated by the gain chip 1 and transmit it to the 2×2 multimode interference coupler 202, and then transmit it to the micro-ring filter for filtering to adjust the wavelength of the light beam;
[0060] The filtered light beam passes through a plurality of 1×2 multimode interference couplers 206 to averagely split the light beam energy;
[0061] The split light beam is emitted into space through the grating antenna structure 210 after the antenna transmitting array element adjusts the phase.
[0062] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: using silicon-based optoelectronics technology, a method is proposed to adjust the output wavelength by adjusting the parameters of the microring filter, and then adjust the electrically controlled phase regulator to control the focus position in the x and y planes. At the same time, an MZI (Mach-Zehnder interferometer) structure is introduced before each antenna to achieve arbitrary control of the antenna radiation energy distribution, so as to apply a specific power attenuation mode in the array, reduce the sidelobe intensity, and concentrate more energy on the main beam. Through the above structure and control method, more precise control of the optical potential well can be achieved.
[0063] In a specific embodiment, referring to Figure 1The silicon-based optical chip 2 and the gain chip 1 are integrated in a heterogeneous manner. The light generated by the gain chip body 102 is coupled into the silicon photonic chip through the end coupler 201 by receiving external current to the gain chip electrode 101. The end coupler 201 adopts an angle design to reduce reflection. The coupled light is output to the silicon-based waveguide 203 through a port of the 2×2 multimode interference coupler 202 (2×2MMI). The silicon-based waveguide 203 is a curved coupled waveguide and is coupled into the microring resonator 204. The microring resonator 204 generally adds a TiN (titanium nitride) thermal adjustment controller above its microring waveguide structure. The local temperature can be changed by injecting current through the microring filter control electrode 205 to adjust the filtering parameters. The filtered light beam is output to the first stage 1×2MMI (1×2 multimode interference coupler 206) through one of the ports of the 2×2 multimode interference coupler 202 structure. According to the array scale, the 1×2 multimode interference coupler 206 structure is used to evenly split the light beam energy into the subsequent antenna transmitting array elements. The MZI structure is used in the last two stages of the 1×2 multimode interference coupler 206 beam splitting, and a phase shifter (TiN thermal adjustment electrode or PN junction phase shifter) is added to one arm, as shown in the structure of the first type of phase shifter 208. The phase shifter electrode 207 receives an externally applied voltage or current, and the phase of the light beam in the waveguide can be controlled by an external control circuit. After passing through the MZI structure, the output light beam is sent to the last stage of the second type of phase shifter 209, and then emitted into space through the grating antenna structure 210 structure.
