摘要:

在CMOS代工平台上制造的超紧凑、密集集成的光学部件对于光学信息处理和电子-光子共集成是非常期望的。然而,在硅光子器件中普遍存在的由纳米尺度限制引起的大空间范围的倏逝波导致显著的串扰和散射损耗。在这里,我们证明了各向异性全介质超材料打开了一个新的自由度,在全内反射,以缩短衰减长度的倏逝波。我们的实验表明,减少串扰大于30倍,弯曲损耗大于3倍,在密集集成,超紧凑的光子电路块。我们的原型全介质超材料波导实现了约3.7 dB/cm的低传播损耗,与硅条形波导的传播损耗相当。我们的方法标志着从干涉为基础的限制,如在光子晶体或槽波导,利用纳米级场增强的出发。其抑制倏逝波而不显著增加传播损耗的能力将为基于全电介质超材料的密集集成铺平道路。

英文摘要:

Ultra-compact, densely integrated optical components manufactured on a CMOS-foundry platform are highly desirable for optical information processing and electronic-photonic co-integration. However, the large spatial extent of evanescent waves arising from nanoscale confinement, ubiquitous in silicon photonic devices, causes significant cross-talk and scattering loss. Here, we demonstrate that anisotropic all-dielectric metamaterials open a new degree of freedom in total internal reflection to shorten the decay length of evanescent waves. We experimentally show the reduction of cross-talk by greater than 30 times and the bending loss by greater than 3 times in densely integrated, ultra-compact photonic circuit blocks. Our prototype all-dielectric metamaterial-waveguide achieves a low propagation loss of approximately 3.7 dB/cm, comparable to those of silicon strip waveguides. Our approach marks a departure from interference-based confinement as in photonic crystals or slot waveguides, which utilize nanoscale field enhancement. Its ability to suppress evanescent waves without substantially increasing the propagation loss shall pave the way for all-dielectric metamaterial-based dense integration.
