备注

针对目前红外波段波长转换存在的损耗大、工艺复杂,以及难以实现波长调谐等缺陷,提出掺杂硅波导结构实现可调谐红外激光输出. 通过氧化锌粒子的掺杂破坏硅材料的对称性,减少其有效折射率,增强硅波导内部的非线性效应,实现了中红外波长输出,波长转换范围达到1.55~2.85 μm. 进一步研究发现,改变粒子掺杂密度可实现中红外激光波长可调谐输出,调谐范围可达225 nm. 掺杂波导具有体积小、结构稳定等优势,该掺杂手段为实现集成波长调谐器件提供了新方法.
In view of the current situation of wavelength conversion in infrared wave band such as high loss of energy, complex technology, and the difficulty in wavelength tuning, we design a doped silicon waveguide. By doping zinc oxide particles in silicon to destroy the symmetry of silicon material, the effective refractive index is reduced, and the nonlinear effect inside the silicon waveguide is enhanced. The results show that the mid-infrared laser can be realized with the wavelength conversion range from 1.55 μm to 2.85 μm. Further researches show that the wavelength of the mid-infrared laser can be tunable by changing the density of the doped particles, and the tuning range can reach 225 nm. The doped silicon waveguide, with the advantage of small size doping particles and stable structure, can provide a new method for the research of integrated wavelength tuning devices.
