Silicon-based integrated optically adjustable delay line based on optical phased array
A silicon- and optical phased array-based integrated optically adjustable delay line, comprising, an optical phased array transmitting unit, a slab waveguide transmitting unit, and an optical phased array receiving unit that are sequentially arranged. By the optical phase control transmitting unit, the phase difference between channels is regulated and controlled via a phase shifter to change a far-field interference light spot and form a wave beam with directivity to regulate and control an incident angle of an optical signal entering the slab waveguide, thus changing the propagation path length of the optical signal. Finally, the optical signal is received by a corresponding optical phased array receiving unit to obtain different delay amounts. Large adjustable delay amount is realized and the delay line has the advantages of simple structure and control and high integration level with high application value in optical communication and microwave photonic and optical signal processing.
