[0039] In view of the large size, complex process, high cost, low production capacity and other defects caused by the discrete optical path devices of the traditional fiber-optic gyroscope, the application provides a full-chip-integrated photonic chip gyroscope scheme.

[0040] The application is further described in detail in combination with the drawings.

[0041] Referring to Figure 1 The full-chip-integrated photonic chip gyroscope mainly comprises a silicon-based heterogeneous integrated chip 1, a TEC 2 and a control circuit 3. The control circuit is used for applying a modulation signal to the modulator 1-8, simultaneously supplying power to the light source 1-1 and the temperature control module TEC 2 and demodulating the optical signal output by the silicon-based heterogeneous integrated chip 1.

The other input end of the one-to-two coupler I 1-5 is connected with the detector 1-12 through the mode spot converter II 1-11.

[0044] The wide-spectrum light emitted by the SLD light source 1-1 contains both TE0 and TM0 polarization modes, and the isolator 1-2 prevents the light from being transmitted in the reverse direction along the transmission path to the SLD light source 1-1, effectively suppressing spectral modulation; the light is coupled to the first input end of the 1:2 coupler I1-5 through the mode spot converter I1-3, enters the polarizer 1-6 through the output end of the 1:2 coupler I1-5, and in the polarizer 1-6, only the light of the TE0 mode can pass through with low loss, while the light of the TM0 mode cannot pass through normally; the light of the TE0 mode is equally divided into two parts with a ratio of 50:50 through the 1:2 coupler II1-7, and the two beams of light pass through the two output ends of the 1:2 coupler II1-7, are coupled to the transferred thin-film lithium niobate ridge straight waveguide through the SiN-lithium niobate double-layer inverted taper structure, and enter the thin-film lithium niobate modulator 1-8; the two output ends of the thin-film lithium niobate modulator 1-8 are connected to the two ends of the on-chip waveguide ring 1-10 through the lithium niobate-SiN double-layer inverted taper; the two beams of light propagate in the clockwise and counterclockwise directions in the on-chip waveguide ring 1-10, respectively, and satisfy the coherent condition, and the non-reciprocal phase shift is generated by using the gyro closed-loop control modulator to compensate for the Sagnac phase shift caused by rotation, and the rotation angle rate information is obtained by demodulation; the loop light passes through the thin-film lithium niobate modulator 1-8, the 1:2 coupler II1-7, and the polarizer 1-6 to reach the 1:2 coupler I1-5; the light at the first input end of the 1:2 coupler I1-5 is blocked by the isolator 1-2, and the light at the second input end of the 1:2 coupler I1-5 passes through the mode spot converter II1-11 to reach the detector 1-12.

[0046] The SLD light source 1-1 and the detector 1-12 in the silicon-based heterogeneous integrated chip 1 are realized by transferring a micro-patterned III-V group material on a silicon-based substrate; and the thin-film lithium niobate modulator 1-8 is realized by transferring a small-size thin-film lithium niobate on a silicon-based SiN waveguide.

[0048] The polarizer 1-6 adopts an absolute single-mode waveguide scheme, and polarization state selection is realized by accurately controlling the waveguide width; in the transmission process, the waveguide width is gradually narrowed to a critical value, so that the TM0 polarization mode light cannot pass normally, only the TE0 mode light passes with low loss, and a high extinction ratio of > 60dB is realized.

[0049] The thin film lithium niobate modulator 1-8 is integrated on a chip by micro transfer technology, and the transfer of a small-size patterned thin film lithium niobate structure is realized, and the size is minimized. Micro transfer can simultaneously transfer multiple structures, and is a large-scale process. The thin film lithium niobate dry etching process incompatible with CMOS is excluded from the large-scale CMOS process.

[0055] Mode spot converter I1-3, mode spot converter II1-11 adopts linear inverted cone structure, as shown in Figure 2 The center wavelength 1310nm or 1550nm, respectively, realizes the mode field matching of SLD light source 1-1 and one-to-two coupler I1-5, one-to-two coupler I1-5 and reach detector 1-12.

[0056] One-to-two coupler I1-5 and one-to-two coupler II1-7 adopt 1x2 multimode interference MMIs structure, as shown in Figure 3 The input / output waveguide is respectively placed at the center offset ±w / 6 position relative to the MMI multimode interference region, and w is the width of the multimode interference region. By controlling the length of the coupling region, a 50%:50% splitting ratio is realized, and the center wavelength is 1310nm or 1550nm. In the embodiment of the application, the SiN chip waveguide width is 2μm, and the height is 0.1μm.

[0057] The integrated photonic chip can realize the full-chip integration of the gyro optical system and large-scale batch production, greatly reduce the optical path size and manufacturing cost of the gyro, and improve the product consistency, reliability and production efficiency, which is the inevitable trend of the development of the next generation of optical gyroscopes.

[0058] The application provides a full-chip integrated photonic chip gyro scheme, which realizes the preparation of active and passive heterogeneous integrated chips through micro transfer printing technology, eliminates optical fiber fusion, tail fiber coiling and other processes, greatly reduces the complexity of the gyro manufacturing process, and shortens the development cycle. The micro transfer printing technology can realize the transfer of patterned small-size III-V group materials and thin-film lithium niobate structures, minimize the chip size, and reduce material waste.
