Description

Optical fiber coupling structure and optical fiber and chip welding method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of optical fiber and wavelength division multiplexer chip coupling structures, in particular to an optical fiber coupling structure and an optical fiber and chip welding method thereof.
Background
Multimode interferometer type, arrayed waveguide grating type, mach-Zehnder interferometer type and other wavelength division multiplexing devices are indispensable parts in optical fiber communication networks. In the radio frequency subsystem, the application requirement of the energy-efficient high-power broadband wireless system under the Sub15GHz golden spectrum will be rapidly increased in the future. The related technology of breaking through the microwave photon core device of the high-power high-efficiency analog radio frequency forwarding network and the direct-drive antenna of the photoelectric detector becomes particularly important. High input optical power requires a stable connection between the optical chip and the optical fiber, while high efficiency requires efficient coupling of the optical chip and the optical fiber to reduce losses. Conventional optical chip and fiber coupling is fixed using a curing agent. As described in "Ranno,L.,et al.(2022)."Integrated Photonics Packaging:Challenges and Opportunities."ACS Photonics 9(11):3467-3485.", the method is poor in the stability of the curing agent for connecting the optical fiber and the device under high power input, and affects the coupling quality, which results in increased input loss, and serious damage to the optical chip, which makes it impossible to operate normally. Much research on optical fiber coupling has focused on laser-to-optical fiber coupling, such as that disclosed in patent application publication number CN108879318a entitled "a semiconductor laser package structure and method of soldering thereof. As also described in document "Yi-Cheng,H.,et al.(2005)."A novel fiber alignment shift measurement and correction technique in laser-welded laser module packaging."Journal of Lightwave Technology 23(2):486-494.". Because of the working characteristics of the laser, the optical chip and the optical fiber only need single-end-face coupling, and compared with a wavelength division multiplexer which needs to couple two input and output end faces, the coupling difficulty is lower. On the other hand, the coupling difficulty is increased due to the miniaturization of the device, and the insertion loss of the optical device can be reduced by adopting the input/output coupling technology of the precise optical fiber, the wavelength division multiplexer and other passive optical chips. Although the proposal of the patent application with publication number CN103323919A and the invention name of optical component and optical fiber accurately aligned can accurately align the optical component and the optical fiber, the procedures are complex, the coupling requires special devices to finish, and the operation is difficult. There is therefore a need for a new chip and fiber coupling method for wavelength division multiplexing devices that is simple to operate and simple in structure.
