Embodiment Construction
[0032] As mentioned above, in the prior art, a thermo-optical phase shifter can be used to modulate the phase of light. However, the phase shifting efficiency of the thermo-optic phase shifter in the prior art is low.
[0033] In an existing technical solution, the heating efficiency of the heating unit can be improved by adding heat insulation grooves on both sides of the waveguide or making a cantilever beam structure, thereby improving the phase shifting efficiency of the thermo-optic phase shifter.
[0034] However, the inventors of the present invention have found through research that the above scheme reduces the modulation speed of the thermo-optic phase shifter, increases the difficulty of the process and the overall size of the device, and causes the problem that the volume of the phase shifter becomes larger, which is not conducive to the phase shifter. Use in networks such as lidar on silicon substrates, photonic artificial intelligence, etc.
[0035] In another ex...
