[0042] An embodiment of the present application provides a nonlinear optical crystal cavity, comprising:

[0043] At least two stacked van der Waals material layers 1 are provided with a gap therebetween, wherein the material of the van der Waals material layer 1 comprises a van der Waals material having central inversion asymmetry;

[0044] An optical resonant cavity, comprising two layers of distributed Bragg reflectors 2 arranged opposite to each other, the two layers of distributed Bragg reflectors 2 being respectively arranged on the two outermost surfaces in the stacking direction of the van der Waals material layer 1;

[0045] A driving component is connected to the van der Waals material layer 1 , and is used to adjust the rotation angle between adjacent van der Waals material layers 1 and the interval between adjacent van der Waals material layers 1 .

[0046] In the above-mentioned nonlinear optical crystal cavity, a van der Waals material with central inversion asymmetry is used as the van der Waals material layer 1, and an optical resonant cavity is formed by distributed Bragg reflectors 2 respectively arranged on the two outermost surfaces in the stacking direction of the van der Waals material layer 1. At the same time, the driving component connected to the van der Waals material layer 1 can be used to adjust the angle between adjacent van der Waals material layers 1 and the spacing between adjacent van der Waals material layers 1. In actual use scenarios, by controlling the angle between two adjacent van der Waals material layers 1, the stacking angle of each van der Waals material layer 1 can be regulated, so that the optical crystal can meet the phase matching conditions of different wavelengths, thereby realizing a nonlinear optical crystal cavity with adjustable function and wide-band working capability. At the same time, by controlling the distance between two adjacent van der Waals material layers 1, that is, the spacing of the optical resonant cavity, the resonant wavelength can be changed to achieve high nonlinear conversion efficiency at different wavelengths. The nonlinear optical crystal cavity of the present application has the ability to be adjustable function and wide-band working, and can also achieve high nonlinear conversion efficiency at different wavelengths.

[0047] Furthermore, traditional nonlinear optical crystals have low nonlinear coefficients and a high number of out-of-plane dangling bonds, which limits their application in miniaturized and integrated applications. Compared to traditional nonlinear optical crystals, van der Waals materials have significantly higher nonlinear coefficients and no out-of-plane dangling bonds, making them well-suited for miniaturized and integrated nonlinear optics.

[0048] It is understood that the van der Waals material having central inversion asymmetry includes at least one of rhombohedral boron nitride, transition metal chalcogenides, niobium oxide diiodide, niobium oxide dichloride, barium metaborate (BBO) and potassium fluoroborylbenzene (KBBF).

[0049] In some embodiments, the interval between adjacent van der Waals material layers 11 is 0.01 μm to 5 μm.

[0050] There is a strong van der Waals force between the van der Waals materials. When adjacent van der Waals material layers 11 are in contact or the spacing between adjacent van der Waals material layers 11 is too small, it is easy to cause the angle between adjacent van der Waals material layers 11 to be difficult to adjust. When the spacing between adjacent van der Waals material layers 11 is too large, it is easy to cause phase mismatch between the optical crystal and light of different wavelengths. It should be noted that within the range of the size of the spacing between the adjacent van der Waals material layers 11, the size of the spacing between adjacent van der Waals material layers 11 can be set according to the grain size and refractive index of different van der Waals materials. Optionally, the spacing between adjacent van der Waals material layers 11 is 0.01μm, 0.1μm, 0.5μm, 1μm, 1.5μm, 2μm, 2.5μm, 3μm, 3.5μm, 4μm, 4.5μm or 5μm. Alternatively, the spacing between adjacent van der Waals material layers 11 can also be within the range between the sizes of any two of the above spacings.

[0051] In some embodiments, the thickness of each van der Waals material layer 11 is 0.4 μm to 2 μm. Alternatively, the thickness of each van der Waals material layer 11 is 0.4 μm, 0.6 μm, 0.8 μm, 1 μm, 1.2 μm, 1.4 μm, 1.6 μm, 1.8 μm, or 2 μm. Alternatively, the thickness of each van der Waals material layer 11 may be within a range between any two of the aforementioned thicknesses.

[0052] In some embodiments, the material of each van der Waals material layer 11 includes rhombohedral boron nitride.

[0054] Figure 1 The figure shows one specific embodiment of the drive assembly 2 of the present application. In this embodiment, the power member 5 drives the rotating member 4 to rotate within the through slot, thereby driving the van der Waals material layer 1 connected to the slot of the rotating member 4 to rotate relative to the van der Waals material layer 1 disposed on the substrate 31, thereby adjusting the rotation angle between the van der Waals material layers 1. At the same time, the telescopic member 6 can adjust the distance between the cover plate 32 and the substrate 31, thereby adjusting the spacing between adjacent van der Waals material layers 1.

[0056] The meshing rack 51 and gear teeth facilitate adjustment of the rotation angle of the rotating member 4. It is understood that the piezoelectric ceramic 52 is externally connected to a power source. By energizing the piezoelectric ceramic 52, its horizontal displacement can be controlled, thereby driving the movement of the rack 51, thereby driving the rotation of the rotating member 4, and thus adjusting the rotation angle between the van der Waals material layers 1.

[0061] The expansion and contraction component 6 is formed by a plurality of piezoelectric ceramics arranged at intervals. By energizing the piezoelectric ceramics, the expansion and contraction of the piezoelectric ceramics in the longitudinal direction can be controlled, thereby controlling the interval between adjacent van der Waals material layers 1 .

[0062] Reference Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the driving assembly includes a sleeve 7 and an optical fiber 8; the sleeve 7 includes a top 71 and a protrusion 72, and the protrusion 72 is arranged on the surface of the top 71 to form a groove; the optical fiber 8 is nested in the groove, and the optical fiber 8 can rotate in the groove and move along the depth direction of the groove, and there is a gap between the top 71 and the end of the optical fiber 8; the optical fiber 8 includes a core layer 81 and a shell layer 82, and two layers of distributed Bragg reflectors 2 are fixedly connected to the surface of the core layer 81 facing the top 71 and the surface of the top 71 facing the optical fiber 8, respectively.

In this embodiment, a group of van der Waals material layers 1 and distributed Bragg reflectors 2 are respectively connected by mutually nested light and tube caps, and the optical fiber 8 is nested in the groove. The optical fiber 8 can rotate in the groove and move along the depth direction of the groove, thereby being able to adjust the angle and spacing between adjacent van der Waals material layers 1.

[0064] In some embodiments, the material of the top portion 71 is at least one of quartz, glass, and sapphire.

[0065] In some embodiments, a piezoelectric ceramic is connected to the surface of the optical fiber 8 away from the top 71 to control the movement of the optical fiber 8 along the depth direction of the groove.

[0066] In some embodiments, a piezoelectric ceramic is connected to the surface of the top 71 away from the optical fiber 8 to control the movement of the optical fiber 8 along the depth direction of the groove.

[0067] In some embodiments, a lever perpendicular to the length direction of the optical fiber 8 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the shell layer 82 away from the core layer 81, and the lever is used to control the rotation of the optical fiber 8 in the groove.

[0068] Reference Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the sleeves 7 are multi-layered, and the raised portions 72 of the outer sleeves 7 surround the outer periphery of the inner sleeves 7. Furthermore, the sleeves 7 are slidably connected to each other, meaning that adjacent sleeves 7 can rotate relative to each other and move along the depth of the groove. It will be appreciated that no distributed Bragg reflector 2 is provided on the surface of the central van der Waals material. The above-described embodiments can realize a nonlinear optical crystal cavity comprising three or more stacked van der Waals material layers 1.

[0069] Another embodiment of the present application provides a method for preparing a nonlinear optical crystal cavity, comprising the following steps:

[0070] Processing the van der Waals material with central inversion asymmetry into at least two stacked van der Waals material layers 1 with a gap;

[0071] An optical resonant cavity is prepared, wherein the optical resonant cavity includes two layers of distributed Bragg reflectors 2 arranged opposite to each other, and the distributed Bragg reflectors 2 are respectively arranged on the two outermost surfaces of the van der Waals material layer 1 in the stacking direction;

[0072] A driving component is formed, which is connected to the van der Waals material layer 1 , and is used to adjust the rotation angle between adjacent van der Waals material layers 1 and the interval between adjacent van der Waals material layers 1 .

The upper end of the rotating member 4 has a gear, and the lower end of the rotating member 4, that is, on the surface facing the substrate 31, is opened with a groove with a diameter of 20 μm and a depth of 1 μm to 2 μm for filling the van der Waals material layer 1 and the distributed Bragg reflector 2. A rack 51 is also processed using quartz material. The specifications of the rack 51 match the gear teeth of the rotating part 4. One end of the rack 51 is connected to the stretched end of the piezoelectric ceramic 52. The piezoelectric ceramic 52 is fixed on the surface of the cover plate 32. The rack 51 is engaged with the gear teeth. By energizing the piezoelectric ceramic 52, the horizontal displacement of the rack 51 is controlled, thereby driving the rotating part 4 to rotate.
