Abstract
Description
本出願は、2018年4月26日の日本出願第2018-085055号に基づく優先権を主張し、前記日本出願に記載された全ての記載内容を援用するものである。
波長変換の方式は、角度位相整合と、周期分極反転による擬似位相整合(QPM:Quasi Phase Matching)とに分類できる。これらのうち、擬似位相整合は、周期分極反転幅(poling pitch)を適切に設計することにより、様々な位相整合波長の生成を可能とし、材料の透明領域の全てにおいて波長変換を可能とする。また、擬似位相整合は、角度位相整合によるウォークオフ角が無いことから、ビーム品質が良好な上に、相互作用長の長尺化が可能である。擬似位相整合は、高効率化、及び結合損の抑制に適しており、加工及び計測等において有効な方式である。
擬似位相整合を行う波長変換光デバイスとして、ガラスの自在成形加工と波長変換を組み合わせたものが提案されている(例えば特許文献1を参照)。このような波長変換光デバイスの利点は、基板材料がガラスであることからファイバ形や薄膜形など様々な形状に加工することができ、その形状に波長変換機能を付与できる点である。特許文献1には、電界を印加した状態でレーザを照射することにより、分極方向で規定される分極秩序構造を形成する方法が記載されている。
本開示による波長変換光デバイス、及び波長変換光デバイスの製造方法によれば、擬似位相整合を実現するための分極秩序構造を簡易な方法により形成することができる。
最初に、本開示の実施形態の内容を列記して説明する。一実施形態に係る波長変換光デバイスは、仮想軸線を含む仮想平面と、仮想平面を挟んで対向する第1領域及び第2領域と、を有し、仮想軸線上に交互に配置されている複数の第1の結晶領域及び複数の第2の結晶領域を含む基板を備え、複数の第1の結晶領域それぞれは、第1領域に位置し仮想平面に平行な第1の面を挟んで第1の面と交差する方向に並ぶ一対の部分を含んでおり、一対の部分それぞれの自発分極の向きは第1の面から離れる向きであり、複数の第2の結晶領域それぞれは、第2領域に位置し仮想平面に平行な第2の面を挟んで第2の面と交差する方向に並ぶ一対の部分を含んでおり、一対の部分それぞれの自発分極の向きは第2の面から離れる向きである。
本開示の実施形態に係る波長変換光デバイス、及び波長変換光デバイスの製造方法の具体例を、以下に図面を参照しつつ説明する。なお、本発明はこれらの例示に限定されるものではなく、請求の範囲によって示され、請求の範囲と均等の意味及び範囲内でのすべての変更が含まれることが意図される。以下の説明では、図面の説明において同一の要素には同一の符号を付し、重複する説明を省略する。
図8は、上記実施形態の第1変形例に係る波長変換光デバイス1Bの断面図を示している。本変形例と上記実施形態との相違点は、結晶領域10A,10Bが、光導波方向D1と交差する方向D2に複数並んでいる点である。このような構成においては、或る仮想平面PAの両側に位置する結晶領域10A,10Bによって、上記実施形態と同様の波長変換領域B1が形成され得る。また、1つの仮想平面PA1の両側に位置する結晶領域10A,10Bと、仮想平面PA1と隣り合う仮想平面PA2の両側に位置する結晶領域10B,10A(結晶領域10Bは仮想平面PA1と共通)とによって、波長変換領域B2が形成され得る。すなわち、この波長変換領域B2は、2本の仮想軸線AX1,AX2を含み、光導波方向D1に沿って延びる領域である。波長変換領域B2の方向D2における幅は、方向D2における中心面P1,P2の周期と同一であってもよいし、方向D2における中心面P1,P2の周期より小さくてもよい。
図9Aは、上記実施形態の第2変形例に係る波長変換光デバイス1Cの構成を示す平面図である。図9Bは、図9AのXIIIb-XIIIb線に沿った断面図であって、仮想軸線AXと交差する結晶領域10Aの断面を示す。図9Cは、図9AのXIIIc-XIIIc線に沿った断面図であって、仮想軸線AXと交差する結晶領域10Bの断面を示す。本変形例の波長変換光デバイス1Cは、仮想軸線AXを光軸とするチャネル光導波路構造21を基板2に有する。チャネル光導波路構造21は、仮想軸線AXに沿って延びる一対の側面21a,21bを有する。一例では、基板2に垂直な方向から見て、一方の側面21aは仮想平面PAと中心面P1との間に位置しており、他方の側面21bは仮想平面PAと中心面P2との間に位置している。側面21a,21bは、例えば図4に示された工程S5の前、若しくは工程S5の後に、チャネル光導波路構造21の外側に位置する基板2の部分をドライエッチングにより除去することによって容易に形成され得る。なお、結晶化領域の屈折率n1と非結晶の屈折率n2の関係は、n1>n2である。図9B及び図9Cの基板深さ方向においても、光は閉じ込められることになる。
図10は、上記実施形態の第3変形例に係る波長変換光デバイスの製造方法の一工程を示す断面図であって、光導波方向D1と交差する基板2の断面を示す。本変形例では、図4に示された工程S5において、基板2の表面上に光吸収材31を配置した状態でレーザ光Laを照射する。光吸収材31は、レーザ光Laの波長を含む帯域に吸収帯域を有する材料を含む。基板2の表面上に光吸収材31を配置する方法には、塗布、スパッタ、又は蒸着等がある。例えば、光吸収材31はカーボンを含む材料からなり、一例ではカーボンペースト(樹脂にフィラーとしてカーボン粒子を加えた導電性ペースト)である。
