非对称电极数字光开关
摘要
提出了一种新型的数字光开关电极结构.用两组不对称的电极作用于Z切割LiNbO3Y分叉波导上
其中一组电极从Y分叉波导的顶端就开始对波导进行作用
由于开关电极加强了对Y分叉强耦合区的作用
因此开关的串扰有了很大的降低.用光束传输法(BPM)软件模拟了该结构的性能
与对称电极结构相比
开关电压在6V左右时串扰降低了约6dB
开关电压在6~9V之间时开关串扰<-20dB.
Abstract
A novel electrode structure of DOS is proposed by employing two asymmetrical electrodes to Z-cut LiNbO
3
at the beginning of the Y branch
resulting in considerable decrease of the crosstalk due to the increase of the intensity of the electrical field in the Y branch strongly coupling region. BPM is used to simulate the performance of this structure
it shows that compared to the symmetric electrode structure
the crosstalk decrease by 6 dB when the switching voltage is about 6 V. And it decrease to less than -20 dB when the switching voltage is between 6~9 V.
