Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of microwave photon technology, and in particular to a double micro-ring coupling system for realizing optical nonlinear response. Background Art

[0002] Parity-time symmetry (PT symmetry) originates from non-Hermitian physics. In quantum mechanics theory, closed systems are described by Hermitian Hamiltonians, whose eigenvalues ​​are real numbers and whose eigenvectors are mutually orthogonal. Non-Hermitian Hamiltonians describe open systems, that is, systems that exchange energy with their surroundings. Their eigenvalues ​​are complex numbers and their eigenvectors are non-orthogonal. In 1998, Bender discovered that under the conditions of parity-time reversal symmetry, non-Hermitian Hamiltonians also have real eigenvalues, which brought a milestone development to the study of non-Hermitian physics. In 2007, R. El-Ganainy proposed to construct a PT-symmetric optical system by using the mathematical isomorphism between the optical paraxial wave equation and the Schrödinger equation. The optical system then became an ideal platform for studying non-Hermitian physics, which quickly triggered research hotspots in related fields.

[0037] Figure 1 The structure of a double micro-ring coupling system for realizing optical nonlinear response according to an embodiment of the present invention is schematically shown.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, the double micro-ring coupling system for realizing optical nonlinear response in this embodiment includes: a first micro-ring waveguide 31 and a second micro-ring waveguide 32 .

[0039] The second microring waveguide 32 is coupled to the first microring waveguide 31 , and a splitting ratio control module 4 is provided at the coupling point between the first microring waveguide 31 and the second microring waveguide 32 for determining the optical coupling coefficient between the first microring waveguide 31 and the second microring waveguide 32 .

[0040] The first micro-ring waveguide 31 and the second micro-ring waveguide 32 are respectively provided with a gain control module 5 and a phase control module 6. The gain control module 5 is used to control the gain of the optical signal, and the phase control module 6 is used to control the phase of the optical signal.

[0041] When the optical gain in a single ring is greater than the optical loss in the ring, it is manifested as a net gain, and when the optical gain in a single ring is less than the optical loss in the ring, it is manifested as a net loss. By adjusting the parameters of the gain control module 5 and the phase control module 6, when the difference between the net gain of the first micro-ring waveguide 31 and the net loss of the second micro-ring waveguide 32 is greater than or equal to the optical coupling coefficient, or when the difference between the net loss of the first micro-ring waveguide 31 and the net gain of the second micro-ring waveguide 32 is greater than or equal to the optical coupling coefficient, the double micro-ring coupling system operates in a state of parity-time symmetry breaking, at which time the light intensity output by the output waveguide changes nonlinearly with the increase of the input light intensity of the input waveguide, and the optical nonlinear function is realized, that is, an optical nonlinear response is generated between the first micro-ring waveguide 31 and the second micro-ring waveguide 32.

[0042] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, the double micro-ring coupling system for realizing optical nonlinear response in this embodiment further includes: an input waveguide 1 and an output waveguide 2 .

[0043] The input waveguide 1 is coupled to one side of the first microring waveguide 31 for inputting an optical signal.

[0044] The output waveguide 2 is coupled to a side of the second microring waveguide 32 away from the input waveguide 1 , and is used to output the optical signal modulated by the first microring waveguide 31 and the second microring waveguide 32 .

[0045] In this embodiment, the optical carrier carries data and realizes nonlinear response after entering the first microring waveguide 31 and the second microring waveguide 32 from the input waveguide 1 , and the processed optical carrier is output from the output waveguide 2 .

[0046] Based on the same principle as the above embodiment, by adjusting the parameters of the gain control module 5 and the phase control module 6, when the difference between the net gain of the first micro-ring waveguide 31 and the net loss of the second micro-ring waveguide 32 is greater than or equal to the optical coupling coefficient, or when the difference between the net loss of the first micro-ring waveguide 31 and the net gain of the second micro-ring waveguide 32 is greater than or equal to the optical coupling coefficient, the double micro-ring coupling system operates in a state of parity-time symmetry breaking. At this time, the light intensity output by the output waveguide changes nonlinearly with the increase of the input light intensity of the input waveguide, and the optical nonlinear function is realized, that is, an optical nonlinear response is generated between the input waveguide 1 and the output waveguide 2.

[0047] According to the dual micro-ring coupling system for realizing optical nonlinear response provided by the present invention, high-speed nonlinear conversion can be realized in the optical domain by utilizing the characteristics of large bandwidth, low latency and low power consumption of photon information processing.

[0048] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiments, in the double micro-ring coupling system for realizing optical nonlinear response of this embodiment, the first micro-ring waveguide 31 and the second micro-ring waveguide 32 are passive waveguide structures.

[0049] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, in the dual micro-ring coupling system for realizing optical nonlinear response of this embodiment, the calculation method of the light splitting ratio control module 4 to determine the optical coupling coefficient is:

[0050]

[0051] Wherein, k represents the optical coupling coefficient, I1 represents the light intensity of the first microring waveguide after coupling, and I2 represents the light intensity of the second microring waveguide after coupling.

[0052] The optical coupling coefficient k represents the ratio of light in one waveguide coupled to another waveguide. The optical coupling coefficient in this embodiment is determined based on the spacing between the first microring waveguide and the second microring waveguide and the coupling length.

[0053] On the basis of the above embodiments, in the double microring coupling system for realizing optical nonlinear response of this embodiment, the material of the first microring waveguide or the material of the second microring waveguide may include, for example, silicon waveguide, lithium niobate waveguide and silicon nitride waveguide.

[0054] The large refractive index difference of silicon waveguides allows light to be efficiently transmitted in silicon waveguides. Silicon waveguides can be combined with existing silicon-based microelectronics technology to achieve optoelectronic integration. In addition, silicon has a large thermo-optical effect and the transmission characteristics of light can be adjusted by heating.

[0055] Lithium niobate has a large nonlinear optical coefficient and can be used to achieve optical modulation, frequency conversion and other functions. Lithium niobate waveguides have a wide transparent window in the visible and infrared light ranges and are suitable for a variety of optical applications. In addition, lithium niobate also has a large electro-optic coefficient and can adjust the transmission characteristics of light through the electric field.

[0056] Silicon nitride has low light absorption and scattering losses, which can achieve low-loss light transmission. It also has high thermal stability and is suitable for applications in high-temperature environments.

[0057] On the basis of the above embodiments, in the dual micro-ring coupling system for realizing optical nonlinear response of this embodiment, the types of splitting ratio control modules may include, for example: a beam splitter, a directional coupler, a Mach-Zehnder modulator and a micro-ring filter.

[0058] A beam splitter is an optical device that can split a beam of light into two or more beams. It is a key part of most interferometers and is usually made of metal film or dielectric film.

[0059] Directional coupler (directional coupler-DC coupler) is a common microwave / millimeter wave component that can be used for signal isolation, separation and mixing, such as power monitoring, source output power stabilization, signal source isolation, transmission and reflection sweep frequency testing, etc. The main technical indicators include directivity, standing wave ratio, coupling degree, and insertion loss.

[0060] The Mach-Zehnder Modulator is a device that splits the input light into two equal signals that enter the two optical branches of the modulator. The two optical branches are made of electro-optical materials, and their refractive index changes with the size of the externally applied electrical signal. Since the change in the refractive index of the optical branch will cause a change in the signal phase, when the output ends of the two branch signal modulators are combined again, the synthesized optical signal will be an interference signal with varying intensity, which is equivalent to converting the change in the electrical signal into the change in the optical signal, thus achieving the modulation of the light intensity. In short, the modulator can achieve modulation of different sidebands by controlling its bias voltage.

[0061] The basic structure of the microring filter includes a closed loop ring waveguide and one or two bus waveguides next to the loop, that is, single-channel and dual-channel microring resonators. The actual resonator can be in any shape, such as: circular, elliptical, racetrack, polygonal or spherical; the bus waveguide is generally a straight waveguide, as the input and output channel, there is a small coupling gap between the microring and the channel, and mutual coupling occurs.

[0062] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, in the dual micro-ring coupling system for realizing optical nonlinear response of this embodiment, the type of gain control module may include, for example: semiconductor optical amplifier or erbium-doped fiber amplifier.

[0063] Semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) is a PN junction device with a strained quantum well structure. External forward bias forms a population inversion. External light enters and causes stimulated radiation, forming optical signal amplification. Its amplification characteristics mainly depend on the dielectric properties of the active layer and the characteristics of the laser cavity. It has the advantages of supporting high speed, high bandwidth, low power consumption, high gain, miniaturization and easy integration.

[0064] Erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA, Erbium Doped Fiber Application Amplifier, is an optical signal amplifier that has erbium ions Er3+ doped in the fiber core through which the signal passes.) is an optical fiber that has a small amount of rare earth element erbium (Er) ions doped in quartz fiber. It is the core of the erbium-doped fiber amplifier, which is a device that amplifies weak input optical signals without converting them into electrical signals.

[0065] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, in the dual micro-ring coupling system for realizing optical nonlinear response of this embodiment, the type of the phase control module may include, for example: an electro-optic phase modulator or a thermo-optic phase modulator.

[0066] Electro-optic modulators are optical modulators based on the electro-optic effect. They control the power, phase and polarization of the laser beam through electronic control signals. The types include: electro-optic phase modulators, electro-optic polarization modulators and electro-optic amplitude modulators. In this embodiment, an electro-optic phase modulator is selected, in which the electric field (applied to the crystal through electrodes) changes the phase delay of the laser beam after it enters the crystal. The polarization state of the incident light beam usually needs to be parallel to one of the optical axes of the crystal, so that the polarization state of the light beam does not change.

[0067] A thermo-optic modulator is a device that uses any form of energy to change the temperature of silicon materials and modulate the passing light signal. The thermo-optic effect is that the molecular or crystal structure of a material changes at different temperatures, thereby changing the optical properties of the material.

[0068] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiments, in the double micro-ring coupling system for realizing optical nonlinear response of the present embodiment, the material of the input waveguide or the material of the output waveguide may include, for example, a lithium niobate waveguide or a silicon nitride waveguide.

[0069] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiments, in the double micro-ring coupling system for realizing optical nonlinear response of the present embodiment, the double micro-ring coupling system is integrated on a silicon photonics platform through semiconductor technology.

[0070] Silicon photonics is an optical communication technology that uses laser beams instead of electronic semiconductor signals to transmit data. It is a new generation of technology based on silicon and silicon-based substrate materials, using existing CMOS processes to develop and integrate optical devices. Its biggest advantage is that it has a very high transmission rate, which can make the data transmission speed between processor cores 100 times faster or even higher, and the power efficiency is also very high. The goal of silicon optical technology is to integrate photoelectric conversion and transmission modules on the chip, making it possible to exchange optical signals between chips.

[0071] The double micro-ring coupling system for realizing optical nonlinear response provided by the present invention can be integrated on a silicon photonics platform through semiconductor technology, thereby reducing spatial redundancy.

[0072] The first micro-ring waveguide and the second micro-ring waveguide of this embodiment are not limited to specific shapes. As long as they can form an optical circuit to generate resonance, waveguides of other shapes are applicable to this technical solution.

[0073] According to the double micro-ring coupling system for realizing optical nonlinear response provided by the present invention, by adjusting the gain control module and the phase control module, when the difference between the net gain of one ring and the net loss of the other ring in the double micro-ring coupling system is greater than or equal to the optical coupling coefficient of the splitting ratio control module, the double micro-ring coupling system operates in a state of parity-time symmetry breaking, at which time the light intensity output by the output waveguide changes nonlinearly with the increase of the light intensity input by the input waveguide, and the optical nonlinear function is realized.
