Problems solved by technology

However, the complex device structure increases the difficulty of fabrication, and the wavelength dependence of the quantum-confined Stark effect makes the polarization extinction ratio of this scheme unable to meet the application requirements in the C-band
[0004] In summary, the polarization extinction ratio of today's polarization beam splitters cannot meet the application requirements, and the manufacturing tolerance is small, which hinders the large-scale application of monolithic integrated coherent receivers

Abstract

The invention discloses a polarization beam splitter with large manufacturing tolerance and high polarization extinction ratio. The polarization beam splitter includes an input waveguide, a multimode interference coupler, two phase shift waveguides, Mode interference coupler and output waveguide; the multimode interference coupler divides the light intensity of the input waveguide equally, enters the upper and lower two phase shift waveguides respectively, and then outputs through 2×2 multimode interference coupler interference. The direction of the waveguide and the direction of the crystal have an included angle of 45-135 degrees. By applying a voltage on the two phase-shifting waveguides, the effective refractive index of TE and TM polarized light is changed respectively, so that the phases of TE and TM polarized light meet the interference constructive and destructive conditions of 2×2MMI respectively, and polarization beam splitting is realized. The present invention compensates the extra phase difference of polarized light caused by manufacturing process deviation by changing the effective refractive index of TE and TM polarized light, so it has a large manufacturing tolerance; in addition, because 2×2MMI can achieve a very high extinction ratio, the present invention The inventive polarizing beam splitter has a high polarization extinction ratio.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an optical component, in particular to a polarization beam splitter. Background technique [0002] With the continuous improvement of optical communication transmission rate requirements, the traditional amplitude modulation method can no longer meet the upgrading requirements of the communication network. The quadrature phase shift modulation format of polarization multiplexing is widely used, and the signal demodulation method is also upgraded from the traditional direct detection. for coherent detection. At the same time, the development trend of miniaturization, low power consumption and low cost of optical communication devices requires the integration of optical devices with different functions. Therefore, the single-chip integrated dual-polarization quadrature phase-shift keying receiver becomes very important, and the inability to realize high-performance waveguide polarization beam splitter is the main reason hinderin...
