Abstract

A 2 μm wavelength band spot size converter (SSC) based on a trident structure is proposed, which is coupled to a lensed fiber with a mode field diameter of 5 μm. The cross-section of the first segment of the tapered waveguide structure in the trident structure is designed as a right-angled trapezoidal shape, which can further improve the performance of the SSC. The coupling loss of the SSC is less than 0.9 dB in the wavelength range of 1.95~2.05 μm simulated by FDTD. According to the experimental results, the lowest coupling loss of the SSC is 1.425 dB/facet at 2 μm, which is close to the simulation result. The device is compatible with the CMOS process and can provide a good reference for the development of 2 μm wavelength band integrated photonics.

摘要

提出了一种基于三叉戟结构的2μm波段光斑尺寸转换器（SSC），它与模场直径为5μm的透镜光纤耦合。三叉戟结构中锥形波导结构第一段的横截面设计为直角梯形，这可以进一步提高光斑尺寸转换器的性能。通过FDTD模拟，在1.95~2.05μm波长范围内，光斑尺寸转换器的耦合损耗小于0.9dB。根据实验结果，光斑尺寸转换器在2μm处的最低耦合损耗为1.425dB/面，与模拟结果接近。该器件与CMOS工艺兼容，可为2μm波段集成光子学的发展提供良好的参考。
