Sub-wavelength grating integrated VCSEL

A vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) is described using a sub-wavelength grating (SWG) structure that has a very broad reflection spectrum and very high reflectivity. The grating comprises segments of high and low refractive index materials with an index differential between the high and low index materials. By way of example, a SWG reflective structure is disposed over a low index cavity region and above another reflective layer (either SWG or DBR). In one embodiment, the SWG structure is movable, such as according to MEMS techniques, in relation to the opposing reflector to provide wavelength selective tuning. The SWG-VCSEL design is scalable to form the optical cavities for a range of SWG-VCSELs at different wavelengths, and wavelength ranges.

Ultra broadband mirror using subwavelength grating

A sub-wavelength grating structure that has a very broad reflection spectrum and very high reflectivity comprising segments made of high refractive index material disposed on a layer of low refractive index material and a low refractive index material disposed above and between the segments. The index differential between the high and low index materials determines the bandwidth and modulation depth. The larger difference in refractive indices gives rise to wider reflection bands. The reflection is sensitive to parameters such as the grating period, the grating thickness, the duty cycle of the grating, the refractive index and the thickness of the low index layer underneath the grating. The design is scalable for different wavelengths, and facilitates monolithic integration of optoelectronic devices at a wide range of wavelengths from visible to far infrared. The sub-wavelength grating reflectors may be used in a variety of settings such as tunable etalon filters and as a replacement for conventional distributed Bragg reflectors.

The invention belongs to the technical field of radio frequency wireless receiver integrated circuits, and relates to a quadrature voltage controlled oscillator in a wireless receiver integrated circuit. In the quadrature voltage controlled oscillator, the phase noise performance of the quadrature voltage controlled oscillator circuit is improved and the output phase mismatch is reduced by improving a coupling mode of the conventional quadrature voltage controlled oscillator and introducing a phase shift network at the source end of a coupling tube. By using a linearly changed an accumulation-type metal-oxide semiconductor (MOS) variable capacitor array, the linearity of a tuning curve of a quadrature voltage controlled oscillator (QVCO) is greatly improved so that the tuning range of a control voltage is increased. Because a bias current of the QVCO is variable, a relatively constant output oscillating voltage amplitude can be maintained; therefore, a low phase noise can be obtained by the QVCO in a broad output frequency range.
