Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of optical computing technology, and in particular to a waveguide network structure and an optical chip based on a single micro-ring adjustable basic unit. Background Art

[0002] With the further development of information technology, applications such as large models, artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, and data centers urgently need the ability to quickly transmit and process massive amounts of data at low cost. However, due to the limitations of physical limits, microelectronics technology is gradually unable to meet the increasing demand for computing power. In this context, due to the advantages of light such as large bandwidth, low power consumption, multiple multiplexing dimensions, and low susceptibility to electromagnetic interference, integrated optics has become the best candidate to solve this problem. In the early days of the development of integrated optics, application-specific photonic integrated circuits (ASPICs) roughly followed the development process of ASICs in the integrated circuit field. However, since the development of ASPICs often requires multiple design-tapeout-test cycles, it has a very high time cost and economic cost. This means that only large-scale application scenarios such as data centers and transceiver modules can offset the R&D costs, and it is difficult to achieve cost effects for small-scale and medium-scale application scenarios.

[0005] According to an embodiment of the present invention, when the adjustable basic unit works in a straight-through state, light input from a port of one waveguide of two waveguides arranged in parallel is output from another port of the same waveguide; when the adjustable basic unit works in a cross state, light input from a port of one waveguide of two waveguides arranged in parallel is output from a port of the other waveguide, a port of one waveguide and a port of the other waveguide are on the same side of the adjustable basic unit, and an input direction of one port of one waveguide is opposite to an output direction of one port of the other waveguide; when the adjustable basic unit works in a partially coupled state, light input from a port of one waveguide of two waveguides arranged in parallel is output from another port of the same waveguide, and / or light input from a port of one waveguide of two waveguides arranged in parallel is output from a port of the other waveguide, a port of one waveguide and a port of the other waveguide are on the same side of the adjustable basic unit, and an input direction of one port of one waveguide is opposite to an output direction of one port of the other waveguide.

[0006] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the number of microrings with different resonant wavelengths in the microring resonator is equal to the number of wavelength division multiplexing wavelengths of the waveguide network structure, and the total number of microring resonators is greater than or equal to the number of wavelengths.

[0010] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the phase modulator includes a thermo-optic phase modulator, an electro-optic phase modulator, and an opto-mechanical phase modulator.

[0011] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the waveguide comprises a strip waveguide or a ridge waveguide.

[0012] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the material of the waveguide network structure includes SOI, silicon nitride, lithium niobate or indium phosphide.

[0013] A second aspect of an embodiment of the present invention provides an optical chip, including: a waveguide network structure, wherein the waveguide network structure adopts the waveguide network structure based on a single micro-ring adjustable basic unit as described above.

[0032] Below, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, it should be understood that these descriptions are exemplary only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. In the following detailed description, for ease of explanation, many specific details are set forth to provide a comprehensive understanding of embodiments of the present invention. However, it is apparent that one or more embodiments may also be implemented without these specific details. In addition, in the following description, descriptions of known structures and technologies are omitted to avoid unnecessary confusion of concepts of the present invention.

[0033] The terms used herein are only for describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention. The terms "comprise", "include", etc. used herein indicate the existence of the features, steps, operations and / or components, but do not exclude the existence or addition of one or more other features, steps, operations or components.

[0034] All terms (including technical and scientific terms) used herein have the meanings commonly understood by those skilled in the art unless otherwise defined. It should be noted that the terms used herein should be interpreted as having a meaning consistent with the context of this specification and should not be interpreted in an idealized or overly rigid manner.

[0035] When using expressions such as "at least one of A, B, and C, etc.", they should generally be interpreted according to the meaning of the expression commonly understood by those skilled in the art (for example, "a system having at least one of A, B, and C" should include but is not limited to a system having A alone, B alone, C alone, A and B, A and C, B and C, and / or A, B, C, etc.).

[0036] In order to realize reconfigurable optical hardware, an embodiment of the present invention provides a waveguide network structure based on a single micro-ring adjustable basic unit, including: at least one network unit, each network unit includes at least one adjustable basic unit. Each adjustable basic unit includes: two waveguides arranged in parallel; at least one micro-ring resonator, arranged between the two waveguides along the extension direction of the waveguide and coupled with the two waveguides; when the number of micro-ring resonators is at least two, at least two micro-ring resonators are not coupled with each other; a phase modulator, arranged in the coupling area between the micro-ring resonator and the waveguide and in a preset area on the micro-ring resonator, the phase modulator is configured to independently adjust the coupling coefficient and phase of the adjustable basic unit, so that the adjustable basic unit can be configured as needed between a straight-through state (bar state), a cross state (cross state) and a partially coupled state (tunable coupling state).

[0037] Based on the above embodiment, the two parallel waveguides may include strip waveguides or ridge waveguides. The present invention does not limit the specific shape, and only needs to ensure that the waveguide and the microring resonator can be well coupled.

[0038] Based on the above embodiment, the number of microrings with different resonant wavelengths in the microring resonator is equal to the number of wavelength division multiplexing wavelengths of the waveguide network structure, and the total number of microring resonators is greater than or equal to the number of wavelengths.

[0039] Figure 1 The structural diagram of the waveguide network structure based on the single micro-ring adjustable basic unit provided according to an embodiment of the present invention is schematically shown.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, the structure of the single microring tunable basic unit may include two parallel straight waveguides and a plurality of spatially separated microring resonators coupled to the two straight waveguides. Figure 1 Only the first microring resonator and the last microring resonator are shown in the figure, and the remaining microring resonators are represented by ellipsis.

[0041] In one possible implementation, the resonant wavelength of the first microring resonator is different from that of the last microring resonator. There is a phase modulator in the coupling region between the microring resonator and the two straight waveguides, which can be used to change the coupling coefficient. However, the phase modulator introduces an additional phase while changing the coupling coefficient. If the coupling coefficient and phase are to be adjusted independently, additional phase modulators can be added to other regions of the microring. By adjusting the coupling coefficient, the working state of the new adjustable basic unit can be changed.

[0042] Figure 2 A top view of a microring resonator provided according to an embodiment of the present invention is schematically shown.

[0043] like Figure 2 As shown, based on the above embodiments, the shape of the microring resonator at least includes a circular ring, an ellipse or a racetrack.

[0044] When the number of microring resonators is at least two, the shapes of at least two microring resonators are the same or different. For example, the shapes of the microring resonators are all circular. For another example, the shapes of some microring resonators are circular, and the shapes of some microring resonators are elliptical.

[0045] Figure 3 The schematic diagram shows a layout diagram of a microring resonator provided according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0046] like Figure 3 As shown, the adjustable basic unit may include, for example, two microring resonators, the first microring resonator is circular in shape, and the second microring resonator is elliptical in shape.

[0047] Figure 4 The schematic diagram of coupling a microring resonator provided by an embodiment of the present invention with two parallel waveguides is shown schematically.

[0048] like Figure 4As shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, the phase modulator of the microring resonator and the waveguide coupling region can be single-driven or dual-driven, and both single-driven and dual-driven can achieve independent regulation of the coupling coefficient and phase through their respective corresponding phase modulator configuration schemes. In a possible implementation, a single-driven modulation method can be used to adjust the coupling coefficient, and the phase can be modulated by the phase modulator in the rest of the microring, which can reduce the impact of crosstalk caused by the close proximity of the dual-driven modulation area.

[0049] Based on the above embodiments, the shape of the waveguide structure of the microring resonator includes at least a strip shape or a ridge shape. When the number of the microring resonators is at least two, the shapes of the waveguide structures of at least two microring resonators are the same or different.

[0050] Figure 5 The diagram schematically shows a layout diagram of a phase modulator provided according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0051] In the embodiment of the present invention, the number of phase modulators in the microring resonator is not limited, and at least the coupling coefficient can be adjusted. Figure 5 As shown, the phase adjustment can be determined based on whether the application has a need for the phase to determine whether to use an independently adjustable phase modulator configuration solution.

[0052] Based on the above embodiments, the phase modulator may include a thermo-optic phase modulator, an electro-optic phase modulator, or an opto-mechanical phase modulator, and the present invention does not limit the specific type.

[0053] Based on the above embodiments, the types of waveguide network structures may include square networks, triangle networks, hexagonal networks, or a combination of at least two of the square networks, triangle networks, and hexagonal networks. It should be understood that in other embodiments, the waveguide network structure may be a combination of the above networks or any structural deformation isomorphic to the above networks, or other waveguide networks.

[0054] It should be noted that the shape of the above-mentioned microring resonator, the type of phase modulator, the type of waveguide network structure, etc., cannot cover all shapes or types that can realize various working states of the adjustable basic unit. Variations of the shape of the microring resonator, the type of phase modulator, and the type of waveguide network structure should all fall within the scope of protection required by the present invention.

[0055] Figure 6 The structure of a hexagonal waveguide network unit provided according to an embodiment of the present invention is schematically shown. Figure 7 The structure of a rectangular waveguide network unit provided according to an embodiment of the present invention is schematically shown. Figure 8The structure of a triangular waveguide network unit provided according to an embodiment of the present invention is schematically shown.

[0056] like Figure 6-Figure 8 As shown, since the corresponding new adjustable basic unit has two micro-ring resonators with different resonant wavelengths, and the two micro-ring resonators do not interfere with each other, the waveguide network can be independently configured for different wavelengths with the help of wavelength division multiplexing technology and control algorithm, thereby greatly improving the complexity and flexibility of the network and the ability to process massive signals. This is the most significant feature of the present invention compared to the current waveguide network using MZI as the adjustable basic unit, and it is also the most prominent advantage. In addition, since the size of the micro-ring resonator is smaller than that of the MZI, as an additional advantage, the waveguide network structure proposed by the present invention can further improve the integration compared to the existing waveguide network structure.

[0057] Based on the above embodiments, the waveguide network structure can be instantiated on different material platforms, and the materials of the material platform may include SOI, silicon nitride, lithium niobate or indium phosphide.

[0058] Based on the above embodiment, when the adjustable basic unit works in the through state, light input from one port of one of the two parallel arranged waveguides is output from the other port of the same waveguide.

[0059] When the adjustable basic unit works in a cross state, light input from one port of one waveguide of two parallel waveguides is output from one port of the other waveguide, one port of one waveguide and one port of the other waveguide are on the same side of the adjustable basic unit, and the input direction of one port of one waveguide is opposite to the output direction of one port of the other waveguide.

[0060] When the adjustable basic unit operates in a partially coupled state, light input from one port of one waveguide of two waveguides arranged in parallel is output from another port of the same waveguide, and / or light input from one port of one waveguide of the two waveguides arranged in parallel is output from one port of the other waveguide, one port of one waveguide and one port of the other waveguide are on the same side of the adjustable basic unit, and an input direction of one port of one waveguide is opposite to an output direction of one port of the other waveguide.

[0061] Fig. 9 The schematic diagram shows a circuit diagram of light transmission in the Bar state of a single phase modulator coupling region provided according to an embodiment of the present invention. Fig.10 The diagram schematically shows a circuit diagram of light transmission in a Cross state of a single phase modulator coupling region provided according to an embodiment of the present invention. Fig.11The schematic diagram shows a circuit diagram of optical transmission in a Tunable Coupling state of a single phase modulator coupling region provided according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0062] like Figure 9-11 As shown, for example, the two ports on the left side of the phase modulator can be called port 1 (upper port) and port 3 (lower port), and the two ports on the right side can be called port 2 (upper port) and port 4 (lower port). According to the propagation direction of the output light, the three output states are as follows:

[0063] Bar state: light input from port 1 is only output from port 2, or light input from port 3 is only output from port 4, and vice versa;

[0064] Cross state: light input from port 1 is only output from port 4, light input from port 3 is only output from port 2, and vice versa;

[0065] In the Tunable Coupling state, light input from port 1 will be output from ports 2 and 4 at the same time. The specific splitting ratio and phase relationship are related to the working state of the thermal phase shifter. Light input from port 3 will be output from ports 2 and 4 at the same time. The specific splitting ratio and phase relationship are related to the working state of the phase modulator, and vice versa. It should be noted that the above state is established under ideal conditions. In actual use, due to weak reflection and crosstalk, ports that are not marked with light output may also detect extremely weak light signal output, but this has no effect on the overall performance.

[0066] Fig.12 The schematic diagram shows a circuit diagram of optical transmission in the Bar state of a single adjustable basic unit composed of a single micro-ring provided according to an embodiment of the present invention. Fig.13 The diagram schematically shows a circuit diagram of optical transmission in the Cross state of a single adjustable basic unit composed of a single micro-ring provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Fig.14 The schematic diagram shows a circuit diagram of optical transmission in a Tunable Coupling state of a single tunable basic unit composed of a single micro-ring provided in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0067] like Figure 12-14 As shown, the two ports on the left side of the adjustable basic unit are called port A (upper port) and port C (lower port), and the two ports on the right side are called port B (upper port) and port D (lower port).

[0068] In some possible embodiments, the adjustable basic unit is generally used to implement three types of input-output relationships, and the definitions of these three working states may be, for example:

[0069] Bar state: light input from port A will only be output from port B, light input from port C will only be output from port D, and vice versa;

[0070] Cross state: light input from port A will only be output from port C, light input from port B will only be output from port D, and vice versa;

[0071] In the Tunable state, the light input from port A will only be output from port B and port C, and the light input from port C will only be output from port D and port A. The specific splitting ratio and phase relationship are determined by the working state of the thermal phase modulator, and vice versa.

[0072] It should be noted that, since the adjustable basic unit indicated in the present invention may include more than one single microring resonator corresponding to the same wavelength, the combination of different single microring resonators can undoubtedly achieve more complex working states, not limited to the above three working states, which should not be a limitation of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make any combination according to application requirements.

[0073] Based on the above waveguide network structure, an embodiment of the present invention further provides an optical chip, including: a waveguide network structure, wherein the waveguide network structure adopts the waveguide network structure based on the single micro-ring adjustable basic unit as described above.

[0074] It should be noted that the waveguide network structure provided by the present invention can be applied to application scenarios of multiple wavelengths, and can also be applied to application scenarios of a single wavelength. Technicians in optical computing, optical signal processing and other related fields can make corresponding applications as needed, such as signal bands, input optical modes, etc.
