The traditional direct coupling mode lacks the ability to effectively control the polarization state of light, making it difficult for light of different polarization states to achieve accurate matching with the mode of the optical waveguide during the coupling process, and the polarization-related loss is greatly increased. Such loss is not only likely to lead to a significant reduction in coupling efficiency and a large amount of light energy is wasted at the coupling interface, but also to make the intensity of the coupled optical signal unstable, thereby causing a mismatch problem between the optical signal and the optical waveguide, resulting in a sharp decline in coupling stability, and seriously affecting the performance and reliability of the entire optical communication system.

[0020] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0021] However, in a polarization-sensitive optical communication system, when an ultra-high-efficiency optical waveguide coupler couples an optical fiber and an optical waveguide, since the light transmitted in the optical fiber usually has a random polarization state, while the optical waveguide often has better transmission characteristics for light of a specific polarization state, the traditional direct coupling mode lacks the effective ability to control the polarization state of light, making it difficult for light of different polarization states to achieve precise matching with the mode of the optical waveguide during the coupling process, and the polarization-related loss increases significantly.
[0022] Therefore, the present invention provides an ultra-high-efficiency optical waveguide coupler based on a nano-grating structure. Refer to Figure 1 as shown, which includes an ultra-high-efficiency optical waveguide coupler main body 1. An output end 11 is provided at one end of the ultra-high-efficiency optical waveguide coupler main body 1, an input end 12 is provided at the other end of the ultra-high-efficiency optical waveguide coupler main body 1. Both sides of the top surface of the ultra-high-efficiency optical waveguide coupler main body 1 are fixedly connected with hollow clamping plates 13. A nano-grating structure plate 14 is installed in the middle of the hollow clamping plate 13. A clamping assembly is provided in the middle of the hollow clamping plate 13, and a glue application assembly is provided in the middle of the hollow clamping plate 13.
[0023] Specifically, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the nano-gratings etched on the top surface of the nano-grating structure plate 14 are arranged in a two-dimensional periodic pattern, and the arrangement pattern is such that the ratio of the grating depth h to the gap (g) is: h / g ≈ 0.5 - 1.5.
[0024] The nano-grating structure plate 14 is made of silicon nitride material with a moderate refractive index and low transmission loss.
[0025] During operation, first, a nano-grating structure is etched on the nano-grating structure plate 14 using optical lithography technology. It should be noted that during the etching process, the etching rate ratio of the photoresist to the substrate needs to be greater than 5:1 to maintain the morphological accuracy of the grating.
[0026] Subsequently, the etched nano-grating structure plate 14 is installed on the top surface of the ultra-high-efficiency optical waveguide coupler body 1 through a clamping component. When the ultra-high-efficiency optical waveguide coupler body 1 is operating, the nano-grating structure plate 14 can accurately match the free-space light and the waveguide mode.
[0027] Specifically, the nano-grating structure plate 14 generates an evanescent field that matches the waveguide mode by periodically modulating the refractive index and surface morphology, thereby satisfying the momentum matching under the Bragg condition and achieving the amplitude and phase matching of the field distribution. This effectively reduces the field distribution difference between the free-space light and the waveguide guided mode. In a polarization-sensitive optical communication system, directly coupling the free-space light and the waveguide easily causes a large amount of energy loss due to reflection or radiation, while the application of the nano-grating structure plate 14 significantly improves this problem.
[0028] By etching nano-gratings with a ratio of the depth h to the gap g of h / g ≈ 0.5 - 1.5 in a two-dimensional periodic arrangement on the top surface of the nano-grating structure plate 14, the refractive index and surface morphology of the nano-grating structure plate 14 can be modulated to generate an evanescent field that matches the waveguide mode. When h / g ≈ 0.5 - 1.5, the periodic structure of the grating can more accurately compensate for the momentum difference between the free-space light and the waveguide mode, reducing the reflection loss. At the same time, the evanescent field distribution of the grating can more closely match the field distribution of the waveguide guided mode, reducing the radiation loss caused by the field distribution difference. This parameter range solves the mismatch problem between the free-space light and the waveguide mode by optimizing the optical field distribution and momentum matching.
[0029] The role of the nano-grating structure plate 14 being made of silicon nitride is that it can effectively limit the light field at a sub-wavelength scale, while avoiding the high nonlinear effect caused by strong light field limitation in silicon-based materials.
[0030] This step can reduce the ultra-high efficiency optical waveguide coupler body 1 in the polarization-sensitive optical communication system by adding a nano-grating structure plate 14 to the ultra-high efficiency optical waveguide coupler body 1, and by virtue of the special arrangement and material of the nano-grating structure plate 14, the ultra-high efficiency optical waveguide coupler body 1 lacks the ability to effectively regulate the polarization state of light in the traditional direct coupling mode, making it difficult for light of different polarization states to achieve precise matching with the mode of the optical waveguide during the coupling process, and the polarization-related loss is greatly increased. This loss is not only likely to lead to a significant reduction in coupling efficiency and a large amount of light energy is wasted at the coupling interface, but also to make the intensity of the coupled optical signal unstable, thereby causing a mismatch problem between the optical signal and the optical waveguide, resulting in a sharp drop in coupling stability, and seriously affecting the performance and reliability of the entire optical communication system.
[0031] For further information, see Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the locking assembly includes two groups of rectangular limit blocks 2, two groups of connecting columns 21, rectangular limit grooves 22 and two groups of limit sliding columns 23. The two rectangular limit blocks 2 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the two groups of hollow splints 13 on the side away from each other. The two connecting columns 21 are fixedly connected to the two sides of the bottom of the nano-grating structure plate 14. The two rectangular limit blocks 2 and the two groups of connecting columns 21 are in a vertical state. The rectangular limit grooves 22 are opened in the middle of each group of connecting columns 21. The two limit sliding columns 23 are slidably connected to the side of the two groups of hollow splints 13 away from each other. The side of the two connecting columns 21 away from the rectangular limit grooves 22 is respectively fitted with the inner walls of the side of the two groups of hollow splints 13 close to each other.
[0032] The locking assembly also includes a triangular notch 3, a limiting pad 31, a triangular clamping plate 32 and a first spring 33. The triangular notch 3 is opened at the bottom of each group of connecting columns 21. The limiting pad 31 is fixedly connected to one end of each group of limiting sliding columns 23. The triangular clamping plate 32 is fixedly connected to one end of each group of limiting sliding columns 23 away from the limiting pad 31. One end of the first spring 33 is connected to a side of the triangular clamping plate 32 close to the limiting sliding column 23, and the other end of the first spring 33 is connected to the inner wall of the hollow splint 13.
[0033] The clamping assembly further includes two groups of rectangular notches 4, a rotating shaft 41 and a supporting pulley 42. Two rectangular notches 4 are formed at the bottom of each triangular clamping plate 32. Both ends of the rotating shaft 41 are rotatably connected to both sides of each group of rectangular notches 4. The supporting pulley 42 is fixedly connected to the middle of the rectangular notch 4, and the bottom of the supporting pulley 42 contacts the bottom of the hollow clamping plate 13.
[0034] During operation, when installing the nano-grating structure plate 14, the connecting column 21 can be placed in the hollow interlayer in the middle of the hollow clamping plate 13, and the rectangular limiting groove 22 is aligned with the rectangular limiting block 2 and pressed down. During the pressing process, the rectangular limiting groove 22 will slide into the middle of the rectangular limiting block 2. At the same time, the triangular notch 3 will exert extrusion on the triangular clamping plate 32. At this time, when the triangular clamping plate 32 is squeezed, it will drive the limiting sliding column 23 and the limiting pad 31 to slide outward to the hollow clamping plate 13. When the triangular clamping plate 32 slides, it will exert extrusion on the first spring 33. The first spring 33 will be compressed and store energy under the restraint of the extrusion force. When the bottom end of the triangular notch 3 is pressed down to contact the bottom of the hollow clamping plate 13, the first spring 33 will release the stored energy due to the lack of extrusion force oppression and rebound. During the rebound process of the first spring 33, it will push the triangular clamping plate 32 to move towards the triangular notch 3, so that the triangular notch 3 is clamped with the triangular clamping plate 32, producing a fixing effect on the connecting column 21.
[0035] When the triangular clamping plate 32 moves, it will drive the supporting pulley 42 to move. Since the bottom of the supporting pulley 42 contacts the bottom of the hollow clamping plate 13, the supporting pulley 42 will generate friction with the hollow clamping plate 13 during the movement, thus forming a frictional force. Under the action of the frictional force, the supporting pulley 42 can drive the supporting pulley 42 to rotate in the middle of the rectangular notch 4, so as to reduce the frictional force between the triangular clamping plate 32 and the hollow clamping plate 13 during movement.
[0036] Through the setting of the clamping assembly in this step, it is convenient to install the nano-grating structure plate 14 on the ultra-high efficiency optical waveguide coupler body 1, thus replacing the traditional complex bonding installation process, shortening the installation time. At the same time, when the performance of the nano-grating structure plate 14 decreases due to aging or damage, it is convenient to replace it, reducing overall scrapping and lowering the maintenance cost.
[0037] Among them, refer to Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 10 、 Figure 11 and Figure 12As shown in the figure, the glue - applying assembly includes a glue storage box 5, a hollow rectangular plate 51, and a hollow telescopic column 52. The glue storage box 5 is fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of the nano - grating structure plate 14, and glue is injected into the interior of the glue storage box 5. The hollow rectangular plate 51 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the hollow clamping plate 13, and the hollow telescopic column 52 is fixedly connected to the middle of the hollow clamping plate 13 and is located within the hollow rectangular plate 51.
[0038] The glue - applying assembly further includes a glue outlet 6, a sealing film 61, and a thimble 62. The glue outlet 6 is opened in the middle of the bottom surface of the glue storage box 5, the sealing film 61 is arranged in the middle of the bottom surface of the glue storage box 5, and the thimble 62 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the hollow telescopic column 52.
[0039] The glue - applying assembly further includes a second spring 7 and a wax layer 71. The bottom end of the second spring 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the hollow telescopic column 52, the top end of the second spring 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the hollow telescopic column 52, and the wax layer 71 is arranged around the outer periphery of the hollow telescopic column 52.
[0040] The glue injected into the interior of the glue storage box 5 is an optical epoxy resin glue that can reduce the interfacial reflection between the waveguide and the glue layer.
[0041] During operation, when the nano - grating structure plate 14 is installed at the hollow clamping plate 13, the glue storage box 5 will slide to the hollow rectangular plate 51. With the long - term operation of the nano - grating structure plate 14 and the ultra - high - efficiency optical waveguide coupler body 1 and the change of the surrounding environment, the heat around it will increase day by day, which will affect the temperature inside the hollow clamping plate 13. When the temperature inside the hollow clamping plate 13 reaches a certain threshold, the wax layer 71 will gradually melt, thus weakening its sealing effect on the hollow telescopic column 52. At this time, the second spring 7 will stretch after the wax layer 71 melts, and then drive the telescopic end of the hollow telescopic column 52 to move towards the glue storage box 5. When the hollow telescopic column 52 moves, it will drive the thimble 62 to move synchronously. Under the movement of the thimble 62, the sealing film 61 can be pierced, so that the glue outlet 6 is exposed. At this time, the optical epoxy resin glue inside the glue storage box 5 will flow into the interior of the hollow rectangular plate 51 through the glue outlet 6, and the optical epoxy resin glue will gradually solidify after flowing out, so as to connect the glue storage box 5 and the hollow rectangular plate 51, thereby strengthening the tightness of the connection between the nano - grating structure plate 14 and the ultra - high - efficiency optical waveguide coupler body 1.
[0042] Through the setting of the glue - applying assembly in this step, a rigid connection is formed after the optical epoxy resin glue cures, reducing the looseness that is likely to occur in mechanical clamping during long - term use, improving the reliability under thermal cycling and vibration environments. At the same time, it can also cooperate with the clamping assembly to achieve double fixation, reducing the vibration of the ultra - high - efficiency optical waveguide coupler body 1 and the nano - grating structure plate 14 during operation, which is beneficial to maintaining the stability of the coupling efficiency.
[0043] In summary, it effectively solves the problem that in a polarization-sensitive optical communication system, when an ultra-high-efficiency optical waveguide coupler couples an optical fiber with an optical waveguide, since the light transmitted in the optical fiber usually has a random polarization state, while the optical waveguide often has better transmission characteristics for light of a specific polarization state, the traditional direct coupling mode lacks the ability to effectively control the polarization state of light, making it difficult for light of different polarization states to achieve precise matching with the mode of the optical waveguide during the coupling process, resulting in a significant increase in polarization-dependent loss.
