Abstract

A circular patch antenna-coupled quantum well optical modulator for 1550 nm is proposed for the incident millimeter-wave polarization angle-independent phase modulation. The core layer of the modulator is composed of a multiple five-layer asymmetric coupled quantum well structure. The design and theoretical millimeter wave reception characteristics of circular and rectangular patch antennas with a gap structure are theoretically discussed for comparison. The circular antenna with an outer radius of 330 μm and a gap radius of 310 μm is designed. The optical phase modulators with both types of antennas are fabricated, and their modulation characteristics in the 60 GHz millimeter wave band are demonstrated and compared. The phase modulation independent of the incident millimeter-wave polarization angle is successfully realized. The CSR of 55.0 dB (3.56 mrad of phase shift) is obtained when irradiated with 60 GHz millimeter waves. The phase shift of 3.0 to 3.6 mrad is obtained at any polarization angle of the radio waves at an incident power density of 4.4 W/m ² .

用于毫米波光纤无线电系统的带圆形贴片天线的量子阱光学调制器

本文提出了一种用于 1550 nm 波长的圆形贴片天线耦合量子阱光调制器，用于入射毫米波偏振角无关的相位调制。调制器的核心层由多个五层不对称耦合量子阱结构组成。为了进行比较，从理论上讨论了具有间隙结构的圆形和矩形贴片天线的设计和毫米波接收特性。设计了外半径为 330 μm、间隙半径为 310 μm 的圆形天线。制作了带有这两种天线的光相位调制器，并演示和比较了它们在 60 GHz 毫米波频段的调制特性。成功实现了与入射毫米波偏振角无关的相位调制。用 60 GHz 毫米波照射时，可获得 55.0 dB 的 CSR（3.56 mrad 的相移）。在入射功率密度为 4.4 W/m2 时，无线电波的任何偏振角都能产生 3.0 至 3.6 mrad 的相移。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Lightwave Technology is comprised of original contributions, both regular papers and letters, covering work in all aspects of optical guided-wave science, technology, and engineering. Manuscripts are solicited which report original theoretical and/or experimental results which advance the technological base of guided-wave technology. Tutorial and review papers are by invitation only. Topics of interest include the following: fiber and cable technologies, active and passive guided-wave componentry (light sources, detectors, repeaters, switches, fiber sensors, etc.); integrated optics and optoelectronics; and systems, subsystems, new applications and unique field trials. System oriented manuscripts should be concerned with systems which perform a function not previously available, out-perform previously established systems, or represent enhancements in the state of the art in general.
