Abstract

We designed the $1.3/1.55\mum$ WDM directional coupler and its coupling length was calculated with the variation of the two waveguide's core separation and other variables by the Fourier transformed scalar wave equation. We deposited the PSG films for optical waveguide by low pressure chemical vapor deposition and fabricated the WDM coupler using the laser lithography and $CF_4/O_2$ reactive ion etching process. A V -groove which was made to support and fix the optical fiber is fabricated on Si substrate by chemical etching. The WDM coupler and the V-groove are connected using UV curing epoxy. We found that propagation mode of each port of WDM coupler is single mode and maximum extinction ratio between two out ports is 6 dB for $1.3.\mum$, and 12 dB for $1.55\mum$. /TEX>.

유한영역에서의 조화함수전개법으로 인접한 두 도파로 코어 중심간의 거리 및 도파로 변수에 따른 결합길이를 계산하여 $1.3/1.55\mum$ WDM coupler을 설계하였다. 저압화학기상증착법에 의해 PSG 도파박막을 제작하고 laser lithography와 $CF_4/O_2$ RIE 공정 등을 이용하여 WDM coupler를 제작하였다. 또한 광섬유를 지지 및 고정하기 위하여 Si 기판 위에 V-groove를 만들었으며 제작된 WDM coupler와 V-groove로 지지된 광섬유를 UV curing epoxy를 사용하여 접속하였다. 제작된 WDM coupler의 $1.3.\mum$, $1.55\mum$에서의 분지별 도파모드를 관측하고 분할비를 측정한 결과 최대 분할비는 각각 9dB, 12dB였다.
