Embodiment Construction

[0046] Cleaning treatment of silicon substrate: Soak the silicon substrate in acetone solution and ultrasonically clean it for 8 minutes, then wipe it repeatedly with acetone and ethanol cotton balls successively, rinse it with deionized water, blow dry it with nitrogen, and finally put it under the condition of 100℃ Bake for 1 hour to remove moisture.

[0047] The lower cladding of the polymer waveguide was prepared by spin-coating: the polymer material PMMA was spin-coated on the cleaned silicon wafer substrate, the spin-coating speed was controlled at 4000 rpm, and then the film was baked at 120°C for 2 hours , to obtain a waveguide lower cladding with a thickness of 6 μm.

[0048] The waveguide groove was prepared by standard photolithography and dry etching process: first, a layer of Al mask with a thickness of 100nm was evaporated on the prepared polymer lower cladding layer, and the Al film was spin-coated by spin-coating process. A layer of positive photoresist BP212 ...

Abstract

The invention, which belongs to the technical field of a planar optical waveguide sensor and preparation thereof, provides an asymmetric MZI optical waveguide temperature sensor based on a loaded strip-shaped structure and a preparation method thereof. The asymmetric MZI optical waveguide temperature sensor comprises an input straight waveguide, a 3-dB Y-branch beam splitter, two asymmetric reference arm and sensing arm, a 3-dB Y-branch coupler and an output straight waveguide. The reference arm and the sensing arm include silicon substrates, lower polymer claddings with double-waveguide groove structures, reference arm optical waveguide core layers and sensing arm optical waveguide core layers, and unexposed and exposed organic-inorganic hybrid material flat plates, and upper polymer claddings that are arranged successively from bottom to top. According to the invention, with the organic-inorganic hybrid materials containing the chromophore molecules on the surface of the photo-bleaching sensor arm, the refractive index changes, the difference of the optical mode field with the environment change in light transmission of two interference arms is increased further, and the output light intensity change is increased. Therefore, the sensor has an important practical application value.
