Mid-infrared electro-optical modulator based on black phosphorus fluoride waveguide

Abstract

The invention discloses a mid-infrared electro-optical modulator based on a black phosphorus fluoride waveguide, belongs to a mid-infrared electro-optical modulator in the field of optical communication, and aims to provide the mid-infrared electro-optical modulator based on the black phosphorus fluoride waveguide. Fluoride glass is used as a waveguide material, so that a modulation rate of the mid-infrared electro-optical modulator is effectively improved. The invention adopts the technical scheme that the mid-infrared electro-optical modulator comprises a substrate layer; a groove is formed on the upper surface of the substrate layer; a first optical waveguide is arranged in the groove; a first isolation dielectric layer, a first black phosphorus layer, a second isolation dielectric layer, a second black phosphorus layer and a third isolation dielectric layer are sequentially laminated on the upper surface of the first optical waveguide from bottom to top; a second optical waveguide is arranged on the upper surface of the third isolation dielectric layer; the first black phosphorus layer extends out of the left side of the first optical waveguide and is connected with a first electrode; the second black phosphorus layer extends out of the right side of the first optical waveguide and is connected with a second electrode. The invention is applicable to the mid-infrared electro-optical modulator.

Problems solved by technology

However, when the mid-infrared light is modulated by a modulator made of lithium niobate material, the mid-infrared light cannot pass through the lithium niobate material, so the modulator made of lithium niobate material cannot be applied to the mid-infrared light. modulation
