The application provides a Raman
spectrometer chip based on Mach-Zehnder interference, which realizes 360-degree turning of the direction of input light and makes the light pass through different lengths of optical paths to realize interference by using the principle of Mach-Zehnder interference and combining twice reflection of first to fourth directional couplers and arrangement
modes of the directional couplers, so that the 180-degree bending
waveguide is not needed, the
chip volume can be effectively reduced, and the cost is reduced; in addition, the
spectrometer units based on Mach-Zehnder interference are arranged side by side, so that the
image sensor chip can be arranged as a one-dimensional array, the
signal-to-
noise ratio is improved, and the cost is reduced; furthermore, the compound
parabolic concentrator is arranged at the side end surface of the
spectrometer chip based on Mach-Zehnder interference, the end surface
coupling has no polarization selectivity, and the
light spot size is matched with the size of the
coupling structure through the condensing effect of the lens, so that the light is focused on the side surface of the chip to enter the spectrometer chip, the
light spot enters the chip through the lens, and the light
coupling efficiency is greatly improved.
