Problems solved by technology

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to solve two important problems in the manufacturing process of the wave demultiplexer: one is that the download efficiency of the demultiplexer is not high, and traditional solutions such as blocking the output port of the main waveguide will cause signal interference and affect the demultiplexer. The scalability of the multiplexer cannot be applied to optical integrated circuits; the second is that the production accuracy of photonic crystal air hole structure resonators is high, and the current technology cannot meet the requirements.

Embodiment Construction

[0036] The structure of photonic crystal demultiplexer with reflective microcavity using injection technique is as follows figure 1 As shown, it contains a W1 photonic crystal waveguide and three pairs of downloading microcavities and coupling microcavities. The download resonant cavity is the second row of the W1 waveguide. One air hole is removed, and it is composed of six air holes adjacent to the air hole. The radius of the air hole near the W1 waveguide and the lower waveguide is 0.23a, and the radius of the remaining air holes is still 0.4 a. Lattice constant a=445nm, ordinary air hole radius r=182nm, refractive index n of dielectric silicon si = 3.48. Because the different refractive index of the air hole will affect the change of the resonance frequency, the basic structure of the photonic crystal multi-channel demultiplexer can be formed by rationally designing the refractive index of the injected microfluid.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for realizing a high-download rate photonic crystal demultiplexer with a reflection micro-cavity employing an implantation technology. In the method, a device structure for introducing the reflection micro-cavity and a microfluid implantation technology into a two-dimensional photonic crystal demultiplexer is designed, and a higher download rate is acquired by increasing the reflection micro-cavity at a specific position on the rear side of a download micro-cavity along a main waveguide direction; and microfluid with different refractive indexes is implanted into an air hole of a resonant cavity at different positions of the demultiplexer, so that a guide die of a photonic crystal is changed, a transmission peak shifts, and multi-channel wavelength demultiplexing is realized. The photonic crystal having a medium background air hole structure in a triangular lattice is utilized, and the method is closer to a silicon-on-insulator (SOI)-based photonic crystal manufacturing technology which is widely applied at present, and is high in realizability. The three channels have the transmissivity of over 95 percent, and good application of the method in photon integration and wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) can be acquired.
