Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of infrared sensor devices, and more specifically, relates to a passive coherent long-wave infrared radiation sensing photon integrated device. Background Art

[0002] Long-wave infrared (8-14μm) technology is widely used in military and civilian fields, such as medical monitoring, environmental monitoring, night vision imaging, precision guidance, etc. Among them, long-wave infrared radiation sensor devices play an important role in signal detection and analysis and processing, and are one of the core components of infrared systems. Traditional long-wave infrared radiation sensors generally rely on narrow-bandgap semiconductor materials or thermosensitive materials. The former uses the photoelectric effect of semiconductor materials to achieve infrared detection, but the response wavelength is limited by the bandgap and requires low-temperature working conditions; the latter has a wide spectrum response at room temperature, but its performance is limited. At present, long-wave infrared sensor devices are developing in the direction of non-cooling, wavelength selectivity, high sensitivity and low cost, which makes traditional device solutions face challenges.

[0003] "Whispering-Gallery-Mode Optical Microshell Resonator Infrared Detector" (IEEE Sensors Journal, 2021, 21: 2634-2641) discloses a glass microshell optical resonator for long-wave infrared sensing, which uses the glass microshell to absorb infrared radiation energy to generate heat, thereby leading to thermo-optical effect and thermal expansion effect. This effect causes the effective refractive index of the near-infrared optical resonance mode propagating on the surface of the microshell cavity to change, and exhibits a frequency drift phenomenon in the transmission spectrum. This infrared radiation sensor based on an optical resonator can directly convert infrared radiation signals into near-infrared signals that can be transmitted in optical fiber communication systems. However, due to the large size of the device, it cannot be integrated into a mature photonic chip; and due to the structure, the device has a low absorption rate of infrared radiation, resulting in a low photothermal conversion efficiency of the device, which limits the device's responsiveness. In addition, this infrared sensor device still relies on expensive high-precision spectrometers or narrow-linewidth tunable lasers, which further limits the application value of the device.

[0023] In general, the above technical solutions conceived by the present invention can achieve the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art:

[0024] 1. The passive coherent long-wave infrared radiation sensing photonic integrated device proposed in the present invention has a substrate layer, an optical isolation layer, an optical transmission layer and a metal structure layer arranged from bottom to top. Its working principle is based on the thermo-optic effect. The absorber composed of the metal metasurface structure on the top layer and the dielectric layer on the bottom layer can absorb long-wave infrared radiation to generate temperature rise and diffuse it to the waveguide area. Under the action of the thermo-optic effect, the refractive index of the lithium niobate material changes, thereby changing the effective refractive index of the mode transmitted in the lithium niobate waveguide. Therefore, the frequency drift phenomenon of the resonant mode can be observed at the download end of the microring resonant cavity.

[0025] 2. The passive coherent long-wave infrared radiation sensing photonic integrated device proposed in the present invention can greatly simplify the manufacturing process because the designed multi-layer absorber structure is highly compatible with the lithium niobate waveguide structure material stack; the absorber proposed in the present invention has the advantages of high efficiency and wide operating band, which can cover the entire 8-14μm band; the wide waveguide microring resonant cavity proposed in the present invention uses Euler linear bending to suppress the excitation of high-order modes and thus reduce the loss of the transmission fundamental mode, so a microring resonant cavity with a higher quality factor (Q) can be obtained; in addition, the highly integrated design reduces the loss of radiation-induced heating, and a part of the heat field can be diffused in the lithium niobate material, thereby improving the response rate of the device.

[0026] 3. The passive coherent long-wave infrared radiation sensing photonic integrated device proposed in the present invention utilizes a complementary micro-ring resonant cavity, that is, the absorber structure is integrated only in the signal ring but not in the reference ring, so as to realize the coherent sensing of the radiation signal. Under radiation irradiation, due to the difference in radiation response between the signal ring and the reference ring, the download end signal will produce different degrees of frequency drift, and finally the signal is extracted in the RF domain through the beat frequency. This method gets rid of the dependence of the resonant cavity sensing application on high-precision spectrometers or high-precision tunable lasers, and greatly improves the practical value of the device application.

[0036] The technical solution of the present invention is further illustrated by means of specific embodiments below.

[0037] Example 1

[0038] The passive coherent long-wave infrared radiation sensing photon integrated device provided in Example 1 comprises, from bottom to top, a substrate layer 1, an optical isolation layer 2, an optical transmission layer 3 and a metal structure layer 4; a top view of the passive coherent long-wave infrared radiation sensing photon integrated device provided in this embodiment is shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown; its optical transmission layer 3 includes a first coupling grating 308, an optical beam splitter 303, a first bus optical transmission waveguide 307, a second bus optical transmission waveguide 309, a first coupling waveguide 306, a first ring resonant cavity 302, a second coupling waveguide 310, a second ring resonant cavity 304, a second coupling grating 301 and a third coupling grating 305.

[0039] To further explain, the first coupling grating 308 is connected to the optical beam splitter 303, the optical beam splitter 303 is connected to the first bus optical transmission waveguide 307 and the second bus transmission waveguide 309; the first coupling waveguide 306 is connected to the second coupling grating 301, and the second coupling waveguide 310 is connected to the third coupling grating 305.

[0040] Further explanation, along the Figure 2 The cross-sectional view along the axis indicated by the dashed line A is shown in Figure 1 As shown; the first bus optical transmission waveguide 307 is arranged parallel to and adjacent to the first ring-type resonant cavity 302, with a coupling gap between the two; the second bus optical transmission waveguide 309 is arranged parallel to and adjacent to the second ring-type resonant cavity 304, with a coupling gap between the two; the first ring-type resonant cavity 302 is arranged parallel to and adjacent to the first coupling waveguide 306, with a coupling gap between the two; the second ring-type resonant cavity 304 is arranged parallel to and adjacent to the second coupling waveguide 310, with a coupling gap between the two.

[0041] The present invention adopts a commercial lithium niobate on insulator (LNOI) substrate to manufacture a photonic integrated device for passive coherent long-wave infrared radiation sensing; the commercial LNOI substrate is composed of a bottom layer of high-resistance silicon, a middle silicon oxide dielectric layer and a top layer of lithium niobate; the bottom silicon is used as a substrate layer 1, the middle silicon oxide dielectric layer is used as a light isolation layer 2, and the top layer of lithium niobate is processed by electron beam evaporation (EBE), an electron beam exposure machine (EBL) and an inductively coupled plasma etcher (ICP) as a light transmission layer 3; and a metal structure layer 4 is manufactured on the light transmission layer 3 by using EBE and EBL.

[0042] In this embodiment, the thickness of the substrate layer 1 is 525 μm, the thickness of the light isolation layer 2 is 2 μm, the thickness of the light transmission layer is 0.5 μm, and the thickness of the metal structure layer 4 is 0.1 μm.

[0043] Specifically, electron beam evaporation is used to first deposit metal Cr with a thickness of 0.1 μm on the surface of the LNOI substrate as a hard mask for etching lithium niobate, and then the top layer of lithium niobate is etched using electron beam exposure and inductively coupled plasma etching to form a first coupling grating 308, an optical beam splitter 303, a first bus optical transmission waveguide 307, a second bus optical transmission waveguide 309, a first coupling waveguide 306, a first ring resonant cavity 302, a second coupling waveguide 310, a second ring resonant cavity 304, a second coupling grating 301 and a third coupling grating 305.

[0044] In Example 1, the first coupling grating 308, the optical beam splitter 303, the first bus optical transmission waveguide 307, the second bus optical transmission waveguide 309, the first coupling waveguide 306, the first ring resonant cavity 302, the second coupling waveguide 310, the second ring resonant cavity 304, the second coupling grating 301 and the third coupling grating 305 have the same height, which is 0.28 μm; the first bus optical transmission waveguide 307, the second bus optical transmission waveguide 309, the first coupling waveguide 306, the first ring resonant cavity 302, the second coupling waveguide 310 and the second ring resonant cavity 304 have the same width, which is 5 μm; the coupling gaps between the first bus optical transmission waveguide 307 and the first ring resonant cavity 302, and between the first ring resonant cavity 302 and the first coupling waveguide 306 are the same, which are both 0.5 μm; The coupling gaps between the linear light transmission waveguide 309 and the first ring resonant cavity 304, and between the second ring resonant cavity 304 and the second coupling waveguide 310 are the same, both of which are 0.5 μm; the first bus light transmission waveguide 307 and the second bus light transmission waveguide 309 have the same length, which is 500 μm; the first coupling waveguide 306 and the second coupling waveguide 310 have the same length, which is 800 μm; the first ring resonant cavity 302 and the second ring resonant cavity 304 have the same circumference, which is 1200 μm; the first coupling grating 308, the second coupling grating 301 and the third coupling grating 305 have the same structure, with a period of 0.96 μm, a duty cycle of 52%, and 40 periods; the metal structure layer 4 is a two-dimensional grating structure with a thickness of 0.1 μm, a period of 5.4 μm, and a total of 60 periods.

[0045] Further explanation, the passive coherent long-wave infrared radiation sensor photon integrated device provided by the present invention, wherein the metal structure layer, the lithium niobate layer, and the optical isolation layer form a metasurface absorber for realizing efficient absorption of infrared radiation, and its absorption spectrum is as follows: Figure 3As shown, the peak absorption rate reaches 99.8%, the 3dB bandwidth exceeds 6μm, and can cover the entire 8-14μm infrared window.

[0046] Further explanation, the photon integrated device for passive coherent long-wave infrared radiation sensing provided by the present invention has a transmission spectrum test diagram of the first ring resonant cavity 302 and the second ring resonant cavity 304 at the download output end as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown, in the absence of infrared radiation, the output of the first ring resonant cavity 302 forms a resonance peak at point a, while the output of the second ring resonant cavity 304 at the download end forms a resonance peak at point b; these two outputs realize light beat frequency through the optical mixer, thereby outputting a beat frequency signal in the RF domain, whose frequency is the difference between the two resonance peak frequencies.

[0047] Further explanation, the present invention uses an existing infrared quantum cascade laser as the infrared radiation light source of the device, with a peak wavelength of 9.1μm. The light source irradiates the metasurface absorption structure to produce efficient photothermal conversion, thereby changing the mode effective refractive index in the waveguide, thereby causing the drift of the resonance peak; the vertical irradiation power density of the light source is 20-100μW / mm 2 .

[0048] Further explanation, the passive coherent long-wave infrared radiation sensor photon integrated device provided by the present invention has a radiation response test diagram as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown, when there is no infrared radiation, the peak value of the beat signal is located at point c1; when infrared radiation is incident on the integrated device, since only the first ring-type resonant cavity 302 has the above-mentioned metal absorption structure integrated on both sides of the straight waveguide, the absorbed infrared radiation is converted into heat, and the first ring-type resonant cavity 302 will be heated, while the second ring-type resonant cavity 304 is far away from the absorption structure and is therefore heated very weakly. Due to the thermo-optical effect, the frequency shift of its mode is positively correlated with the temperature rise, so the resonance peak drift of the two resonant cavities is different, and the peak value of the beat signal output is shifted to point d1; the shift of the beat signal peak can reflect the intensity of the incident infrared radiation. Therefore, the present photonic integrated device can get rid of the dependence of traditional infrared radiation sensors based on optical resonators on tunable lasers or high-precision spectrometers.

[0049] Example 2

[0050] The structure and working principle of the passive coherent long-wave infrared radiation sensing photonic integrated device provided in Example 2 are the same as those in Example 1, except for the coupling gaps between the bus waveguide and the ring resonant cavity and the coupling waveguide; in Example 2, the coupling gaps between the first bus optical transmission waveguide 307 and the first ring resonant cavity 302, and between the first ring resonant cavity 302 and the first coupling waveguide 306 are the same, both of which are 0.4 μm; the coupling gaps between the second bus optical transmission waveguide 309 and the first ring resonant cavity 302, and between the second ring resonant cavity 304 and the second coupling waveguide 310 are the same, both of which are 0.4 μm.

[0051] The radiation response of the passive coherent long-wave infrared radiation sensing photon integrated device provided in Example 2 is as follows: Figure 6 As shown, in the absence of infrared radiation, the peak value of the beat signal output by the download end of the first ring-type resonant cavity 302 and the second ring-type resonant cavity 304 is located at point c2; when infrared radiation is incident on the integrated device, since only the above-mentioned metal absorption structure is integrated on both sides of the straight waveguide of the first ring-type resonant cavity, the absorbed infrared radiation is converted into heat, and the first ring-type resonant cavity 302 will be heated, while the second ring-type resonant cavity 304 is far away from the absorption structure and is therefore heated very weakly. Due to the thermo-optical effect, the frequency shift of its mode is positively correlated with the temperature rise, so the resonance peak drift of the two resonant cavities is different, and the peak value of the beat signal output is shifted to point d2.

[0052] It will be easily understood by those skilled in the art that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
