The invention provides a slab
waveguide structure, and relates to the technical field of optical waveguides, and the slab
waveguide structure comprises a mobile
metal layer, a first
air layer, a residual
magnetism material layer and a fixed
metal layer which are stacked in the y direction, and the fixed
metal layer comprises a first fixed metal region, a second
air layer and a second fixed metal region in the x direction, the second
air layer divides the slab
waveguide structure into a first one-way waveguide area corresponding to the first fixed metal area, a leaky wave area corresponding to the second air layer and a second one-way waveguide area corresponding to the second fixed metal area in the x direction. The
remanence characteristic of the
remanence material layer ensures that light
waves still achieve one-way transmission without an external
magnetic field, the
remanence material layer and the moving metal layer are cooperatively regulated and controlled, the thickness of the first air layer is adjusted, the key technical problems of lateral
radiation deficiency, back reflection suppression, scanning range expansion,
system complexity optimization and the like are solved, and meanwhile the
system reliability is improved. The leaky wave efficiency is improved, the scanning precision is improved, and the strict requirements of low
energy consumption and high integration are met.
