现代光通信是以光为信号的载体进行通信的方式,它需要很多种功能器件,例如:将电信号的1/0转换到光强度1/0上的调制器,发射不同波长的光的激光器,检测光信号的探测器,实现点到点路由的光开关…等等。Modern optical communication is a way of communicating with light as a carrier of signals. It requires a variety of functional devices, such as a modulator that converts 1/0 of an electrical signal to a light intensity of 1/0, and a laser that emits light of a different wavelength. , detectors that detect optical signals, optical switches that implement point-to-point routing, and more.
光在传输的过程中会发生损耗,造成光功率下降,如果光功率降到探测器的接收范围以下,那么通信就失败了,因此,光放大器是光通信中必不可少的一环。Light will be lost during the transmission process, causing the optical power to drop. If the optical power falls below the receiver's receiving range, the communication will fail. Therefore, the optical amplifier is an indispensable part of optical communication.
在具体设置时,现有的一种方案为将光放大器集成到硅上(光放大器用硅无法制造,目前都是使用磷化铟基材料制造)。具体的,在硅衬底上切出一块面积,把磷化铟-半导体光放大器粘贴上去,并且把光的输入/输出端口对准;但是上述方案中光放大器的对准的要求太高:SOI上的硅波导和半导体光放大器的输入/输出端对准的时候位置偏差1um引入1dB额外损耗,2um引入3dB额外损耗(相当于损失50%的光能量);半导体光放大器比半导体硅的高度要高一些,这样贴上去,高度上的对准只能靠反复的实验来“试”出一个合适制造环境,而且换一个不同型号的半导体光放大器就又要再“试”一遍。In the specific setting, an existing solution is to integrate an optical amplifier into silicon (the optical amplifier cannot be fabricated using silicon, and is currently manufactured using an indium phosphide-based material). Specifically, an area is cut on the silicon substrate, the indium phosphide-semiconductor optical amplifier is pasted, and the input/output ports of the light are aligned; however, the alignment requirements of the optical amplifier in the above scheme are too high: SOI When the input and output ends of the upper silicon waveguide and the semiconductor optical amplifier are aligned, the position deviation 1um introduces 1dB extra loss, and 2um introduces 3dB extra loss (equivalent to 50% loss of light energy); the semiconductor optical amplifier is higher than the semiconductor silicon Higher, so paste, height alignment can only be "tested" out of a suitable manufacturing environment by repeated experiments, and a different type of semiconductor optical amplifier will have to "try" again.
另一种方案为采用倏逝波I/O的方案,它是先在这个耦合用的器件上形成了波导,然后再把它贴到芯片表面。这就注定它还是需要有一个高精度的对准过程。Another solution is to use evanescent wave I/O, which first forms a waveguide on the device for coupling and then attaches it to the surface of the chip. This is destined to still require a high-precision alignment process.
