摘　　要：SOI波导被公认为光子集成电路(PIC)最有前途的平台,本文研究了SOI波导马赫–泽德尔干涉仪(MZI)型2 ×2-光开关光学性能对波导加工质量的依赖性,建立了理论模型。进而,系统模拟了波导侧壁粗糙度(SWR)对芯片上光损耗(OCL)的影响,分析了脊宽误差(RWE)对器件输出端口的串扰(XT)效应。结果表明,对于芯层厚度为2.0 μm和脊宽为2.0 μm的SOI波导,MZI型器件的光输出性能的两个依赖性:OCL/SW = 0.5 dB/nm,XT/RWE = 1.2 dB/nm,实验结果与此结果一致。因此,本项成果可为MZI-PIC器件的设计提供数据基础。Due to the numerous achievements in the research and development of silicon-on-insulator (SOI) waveguides and some functional devices, SOI waveguide is envisaged to be the most promising platform in photonic integrated circuits (PIC). This article systematically investigates the dependences of optical performance of Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) based 2 ×2 optical switch on the fabrication quality of waveguide, leading to a theoretical model. Then, systematically simulates the impact of SWR on the OCL and the effect of RWE on the XT. The results show that for a 2.0 μm wide rib waveguide on a 2.0 μm thick silicon film, the output performance of MZI based device has the dependence as OCL/SWR = 0.5 dB/cm and XT/RWE = 1.2 dB/cm. Finally, the experimental results agree with the above simulations.
