Design of sandwich-type waveguide grating antenna with ultra-long transmission distance and high directionality

In order to make the silicon-based optical phased array(SOPA) have a small divergence angle and high directionality, and achieve high-resolution scanning, this paper proposes a sandwich-type waveguide grating antenna (SWGA) based on the Si-Si 3 N 4 -Si 3 N 4 platform, which can achieve an effective transmission distance of 1.22cm and finally obtain a divergence angle of 0.0065°. And it has a high upward directionality of 87.41%. Thanks to its large critical dimension, the proposed structure is suitable for manufacturing in complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) foundries with deep ultraviolet (DUV) lithography.

Abstract

In order to make the silicon-based optical phased array(SOPA) have a small divergence angle and high directionality, and achieve high-resolution scanning, this paper proposes a sandwich-type waveguide grating antenna (SWGA) based on the Si-Si 3 N 4 -Si 3 N 4 platform, which can achieve an effective transmission distance of 1.22cm and finally obtain a divergence angle of 0.0065°. And it has a high upward directionality of 87.41%. Thanks to its large critical dimension, the proposed structure is suitable for manufacturing in complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) foundries with deep ultraviolet (DUV) lithography.
