摘要: An on-chip Fourier transform spectrometer based on a double-layer spiral waveguide comprises, in order, a waveguide input coupler, a 1×N optical splitter, N double-layer waveguide Y-branch structures, N double-layer spiral waveguides with incremental lengths, N double-layer waveguide Y-branch structures arranged in opposite directions, and N germanium-silicon detectors. The group index difference between the odd mode and the even mode in the double-layer waveguide makes the double-layer spiral waveguide function like an asymmetric Mach-Zehnder interferometer. N double-layer spiral waveguides with incremental lengths are used to achieve a spatial heterodyne based Fourier transform spectrometer. Spectral reconstruction from the measured interference fringes can be achieved by a regression algorithm. The invention meets the application need for miniaturization and portability of Fourier transform spectrometers, and has lower temperature sensitivity compared with the existing on-chip spectrometers on the silicon platform.
