    摘要:

    针对现有光开关与分光器通常只有单一功能,且常常对偏振敏感的问题,本文基于波导结构、微流控光学和多模干涉耦合理论,提出一种兼具光开关与分光功能的复合器件。通过驱动匹配液进出两个多模腔与多模干涉的自映像效应实现光路切换或分光。通过仿真优化结构,并讨论和分析了光开关与分光器特性。研究结果显示光开关在1550 nm波长时的插入损耗和串扰很低,两输出端口插入损耗分别是0.034 dB和0.026 dB,串扰分别是-33.26 dB和-50.92 dB。作为1×2分光器时,对1550 nm波长的分光比为1:1,分光均匀,总插入损耗低至0.026 dB。所提复合器件具有结构简单、操作简便、多功能、偏振不敏感、插入损耗低、应用灵活的优点,可应用于多路径的光电子系统、光通信等领域。

    Abstract:

    The existing optical switches and splitters usually have only a single function and are often polarization-sensitive. Based on waveguide structure, optofluidics and multimode interference coupling theory, here a composite device that combines the optical switch and splitter is proposed. By driving the index-matching liquid to enter or exit two multimode cavities and the self-imaging effect of multimode interference, the optical path switching or splitting is achieved. The structure is optimized and the switch and splitter performances are discussed by simulation. The research results show that the insertion loss and crosstalk of the optical switch are extremely low for 1550 nm wavelength. At the two output ports, the insertion losses are 0.034 dB and 0.026 dB, and the crosstalks are -33.26 dB and -50.9 dB. When the device is used as a 1 × 2 splitter, the splitting ratio is uniform(1:1 for 1550 nm wavelength), and the total insertion loss is as low as 0.026 dB. The proposed device has the advantages of simple structure, easy operation, multifunctionality, polarization independence and flexible application. It can be applied in multi-path optoelectronic systems, optical communications and other fields.
