集成光学头用的波导光栅耦合器的制作与性能研究

FABRICATION OF WAVEGUIDE GRATING COUPLER FOR A INTEGRATED-OPTIC DISK HEAD

  • 摘要: 对集成光学头用的波导光栅器件的制作技术进行了研究。采用热氧化和离子束增强沉积方法分别在Si衬底上制备了SiO2层和玻璃波导层,制成了以Si为基底的光波导.采用PCVD法在该光波导上制备Si-N层,用全息干涉光刻法在Si-N层上制作了周期为1μm的等周期直线光栅,并用离子束刻蚀技术将该光栅转移到了Si-N层中。光栅的倾角约20~30°;一级衍射效率可达120%,具有明显的闪耀光栅特征。该光栅可用作导波光输入输出耦合器。

     

    Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to explore the fabricating technique of optical waveguide devices for a integrated-optic disk head. A Si substrate was thermally oxidized to grow the SiO2 buffer layer.Then the glass wave-guiding layer and Si-N cladding layer were deposited on it by ion Beam Enhance Deposition and PCVD methods, respectively. The grating pattern was obtained by the Holographic Interfere Photoetching method and transferred to the Si-N layer by loll Beam Etching. The fabricated linear grating had the same period of 1μm. The blaze angle is about 22° and the first-order distraction efficiency amounts to 120%, noticeably showing the character of blazed grating. Although the guided lightwave can not be focused into a point in the free space, the waveguide grating can be used as a guided wave-in/out grating coupler.
