Description

片上集成窄线宽激光器On-Chip Integrated Narrow Linewidth Laser

技术领域technical field

本发明涉及微波光子学技术领域,具体涉及一种片上集成窄线宽激光器。The invention relates to the technical field of microwave photonics, in particular to an on-chip integrated narrow linewidth laser.

背景技术Background technique

窄线宽激光器由于其高单色性、高频谱纯度、低相位噪声的特性,因而在高分辨率光谱学、光学原子钟、低噪声微波源等领域都有着重要的应用。Narrow linewidth lasers have important applications in high-resolution spectroscopy, optical atomic clocks, and low-noise microwave sources due to their high monochromaticity, high spectral purity, and low phase noise.

传统的窄线宽激光器主要利用光纤布拉格光栅与半导体光放大器组成的谐振系统,使得只有位于反射谱内的谐振频率得到足够的光增益,从而实现单模输出,但是该方法因为光纤的存在,所以对外界温度和震动的影响较为敏感,目前线宽仅能做到kHz量级。Traditional narrow-linewidth lasers mainly use the resonant system composed of fiber Bragg grating and semiconductor optical amplifier, so that only the resonant frequency in the reflection spectrum can get enough optical gain, so as to achieve single-mode output, but this method is because of the existence of optical fiber, so It is sensitive to the influence of external temperature and vibration, and the current line width can only reach the order of kHz.

已有的片上窄线宽激光器主要利用双微环或三微环的游标效应对半导体光放大器的宽谱光进行选模,通过高品质因子微环的滤波作用和其独特的光延时作用,可以做到百Hz量级的单模激光输出。但由于多微环对光功率的衰减作用和较大的芯片间耦合损耗,片上窄线宽激光器的输出功率对微环工作状态的调控和耦合工艺的要求较高。Existing on-chip narrow-linewidth lasers mainly use the vernier effect of double or triple microrings to select the wide-spectrum light of the semiconductor optical amplifier, and through the filtering effect of the high-quality factor microring and its unique optical delay effect, Single-mode laser output on the order of hundreds of Hz can be achieved. However, due to the attenuation effect of multiple microrings on the optical power and the large coupling loss between chips, the output power of the on-chip narrow linewidth laser has higher requirements on the regulation of the working state of the microrings and the coupling process.

As shown in FIG. 2 , the uniform grating 2 is used to partially reflect or completely reflect optical signals within a specific wavelength range, and completely transmit optical signals outside the specific wavelength range.

其中,第一子谐振腔100用于选择同时满足第一子谐振腔100的预设谐振条件和均匀光栅2的预设反射条件的光信号;第二子谐振腔200用于选择同时满足第二子谐振腔200的预设谐振条件、均匀光栅2的预设反射条件、第一微环谐振器201和第二微环谐振器202游标效应滤波条件的光信号。Among them, the first sub-resonator 100 is used to select the optical signal that simultaneously satisfies the preset resonance condition of the first sub-resonator 100 and the preset reflection condition of the uniform grating 2; the second sub-resonator 200 is used to select an optical signal that simultaneously satisfies the second Optical signals of the preset resonance conditions of the sub-resonator 200 , the preset reflection conditions of the uniform grating 2 , and the Vernier effect filtering conditions of the first microring resonator 201 and the second microring resonator 202 .

本发明实施例中,将电流同时注入第一反射式半导体光放大器1和第二反射式半导体光放大器21中。In the embodiment of the present invention, current is injected into the first reflective semiconductor optical amplifier 1 and the second reflective semiconductor optical amplifier 21 at the same time.

在第一子谐振腔100内,第一反射式半导体光放大器1在驱动电流的作用下发生自发辐射,其自发辐射产生的光信号进入均匀光栅2,由于均匀光栅2对特定波长范围的光信号有反射的作用,满足均匀光栅2反射条件的光信号一部分按原光路返回,另一部分通过均匀光栅2透射,由于第一反射式半导体光放大器1在一端镀有对光信号反射率高于90%的膜,因此,从均匀光栅2反射回的光信号经第一反射式半导体光放大器1放大后再次反射,故第一反射式半导体光放大器1和均匀光栅2是第一子谐振腔100的两端,光信号在第一子谐振腔100内不断反射,第一子谐振腔100的谐振腔长和均匀光栅2具有选模的作用。In the first sub-resonator cavity 100, the first reflective semiconductor optical amplifier 1 generates spontaneous emission under the action of the driving current, and the optical signal generated by the spontaneous emission enters the uniform grating 2, because the uniform grating 2 is sensitive to the optical signal of a specific wavelength range It has the function of reflection, and part of the optical signal satisfying the reflection condition of the uniform grating 2 is returned according to the original optical path, and the other part is transmitted through the uniform grating 2. Since the first reflective semiconductor optical amplifier 1 is coated with a reflectance of more than 90% on the optical signal at one end Therefore, the optical signal reflected back from the uniform grating 2 is amplified by the first reflective semiconductor optical amplifier 1 and then reflected again, so the first reflective semiconductor optical amplifier 1 and the uniform grating 2 are two parts of the first sub-resonator 100 At the end, the optical signal is continuously reflected in the first sub-resonator 100, and the cavity length of the first sub-resonator 100 and the uniform grating 2 have the function of mode selection.

同时,在第二子谐振腔200内,第二反射式半导体光放大器21在驱动电流的作用下发生自发辐射,其自发辐射产生的光信号经过光耦合器18,部分光信号耦合进入马赫曾德干涉结构300后出射,另一部分光信号耦合进入第二微环谐振器202中继续传输至第一微环谐振器201,由于两个微环谐振器的半径不同,所以出现了游标效应,经过第二微环谐振器202和第一微环谐振器201的选择,部分光信号从第一微环谐振器201中耦合出来,经第一微环谐振器201传输的光信号通过移相器3到达均匀光栅2,满足均匀光栅2反射条件的光信号一部分按原光路返回,另一部分通过均匀光栅2透射,由于第二反射式半导体光放大器21在一端镀有对光信号反射率高于90%的膜,因此,从均匀光栅2反射回的光信号经第二反射式半导体光放大器21放大后再次反射,故第二反射式半导体光放大器21和均匀光栅2是第二子谐振腔200的两端,光信号在第二子谐振腔200内不断反射,第二子谐振腔200的谐振腔长、第一微环谐振器201、第二微环谐振器202和均匀光栅2具有选模的作用。At the same time, in the second sub-resonator 200, the second reflective semiconductor optical amplifier 21 generates spontaneous emission under the action of the driving current, and the optical signal generated by the spontaneous emission passes through the optical coupler 18, and part of the optical signal is coupled into the Mach-Zehnder After the interference structure 300 exits, another part of the optical signal is coupled into the second microring resonator 202 and then transmitted to the first microring resonator 201. Since the radii of the two microring resonators are different, a vernier effect occurs. After the second microring resonator The selection of the second microring resonator 202 and the first microring resonator 201, part of the optical signal is coupled out from the first microring resonator 201, and the optical signal transmitted by the first microring resonator 201 arrives through the phase shifter 3 Uniform grating 2, part of the optical signal satisfying the reflection condition of uniform grating 2 is returned according to the original optical path, and the other part is transmitted through uniform grating 2, because the second reflective semiconductor optical amplifier 21 is coated with an optical signal with a reflectivity higher than 90% at one end Therefore, the optical signal reflected back from the uniform grating 2 is amplified by the second reflective semiconductor optical amplifier 21 and then reflected again, so the second reflective semiconductor optical amplifier 21 and the uniform grating 2 are the two ends of the second sub-resonator 200 , the optical signal is continuously reflected in the second sub-resonator 200, the cavity length of the second sub-resonator 200, the first microring resonator 201, the second microring resonator 202 and the uniform grating 2 have the function of mode selection.
