摘要:

在光学系统中,SOI(绝缘体上的半导体)上制备集成的MMI(多模干涉)型光耦合器已成为一种愈来愈引人注目的无源器件.由于Si和SiO2之间具有大的折射率差,在SOI波导中可以采用SiO2薄膜(<1.0μm)作限制层,这与超大规模集成电路工艺相兼容.描述了采用SOI技术制备集成的MMI型光耦合器和光开关的设计和制造结果.业已证实,2×2 MMI-MZI(多模干涉-麦赫-曾德干涉)型热光开关的开关时间小于20μs.

Abstract:

Integrated multimode interference (MMI) coupler based on silicon-on-insulator(SOI) has been becoming a kind of more and more attractive device in optical systems. SiO2 thin cladding layers (<1.0 μm) can be usedin SOI waveguide due to the large index step be-tween Si and SiO2, making them compatible with VLSI technology. The design and fabrica-tion of MMI optical couplers and optical switches in SOI technology are presented in thepa-per. We demonstrated the switching time of 2 × 2 MMI-MZI thermo-optical switch is less than 20 μs.

Key words: SOI, MMI, optical coupler, optical switch, integrated optics
