被引用回数：7 パーセンタイル：95.12(Engineering, Electrical & Electronic)Proton beam writing (PBW) is an attractive technique for next-generation micro-fabrication. We study the fabrication of optical waveguides of polymer materials using PBW. In this study, the optical waveguides of photorefractive polysilane "GLASSIA" was fabricated. The samples for the waveguides were prepared as follows; (1) An under-cladding layer of SiO
having a thickness of 
15 m was deposited on a Si substrate using radio-frequency sputtering. (2) A polysilane layer having a thickness of 10 m was spin-coated onto the SiO layer as a core layer. Optical waveguides were drawn by scanning a 1.7 MeV focused proton beam with 1 m size and beam current of 50 pA which was produced by a submicron focused ion beam system connected with the 3 MV single-ended accelerator at JAEA. The drawing was carried out on the dose of 100, 200, 300 nC/mm
each. After the drawing, the sample surfaces were observed using an optical microscope and AFM. The observation result showed that the refractive index was changed and the cores of the waveguides were formed. We will report the details of above observation results in the conference. The change ratio of the refraction index will also be reported on the basis of the obtained result by inserting light (
= 1.55 m) into the waveguide structure through a single-mode fiber.

被引用回数：6 パーセンタイル：2.48Single mode straight waveguides for a wavelength of 1.55-m were, so far, fabricated using a proton beam writing (PBW) technique. We report the fabrication of Y-junction polymer waveguides with a polymethyl methacralate (PMMA) layers as the expansion of these straight waveguides using PBW in the conference. The PMMA layers consisted of an under-cladding layer of SiO having a thickness of 15-m deposited on an Si substrate, a PMMA layer having a thickness of 10-m spin-coated onto the SiO layer and a Y-junction waveguide with a width of 8-m in a PMMA core layer. The Y-junction waveguides with the angle of 2
were drawn using the 1.7 MeV proton beam with 1-m in diameter and a beam current of 10 pA for a dose of 100 nC/mm. After spin-coating the PMMA layer with 10-m thickness as an upper cladding on the irradiated PMMA layer, the near field pattern (NFP) of an 8-m-width Y-junction waveguide was observed using a tunable-wavelength laser. The observation showed that the fabrication of waveguide was succeeded because its waveguide was single mode and the intensity ratio between the two outputted lights was the almost same; 1:0.96. We also briefly report the next plans of the measurement of the refractive indices of proton-irradiated PMMA and SiO films and the fabrication of a thermo-optic polymer switch based on a Mach-Zehnder interferometer waveguide.

高信頼性、かつ低価格の光スイッチとして、マッハツェンダー干渉計(Mach-Zehnder Interferometer: MZI)型熱光学スイッチが期待されている。本研究では有機材料のPMMAにプロトンビーム描画(Proton Beam Writing: PBW)を用いて光導波路を製作することで、このスイッチの開発を行っている。今回、Si基板の上に三層構造、すなわちSiO層,PMMAコア層及びPMMAクラッド層を持つ試料を製作し、これにPBWを用いて直線導波路を製作した。この直線導波路の近視野像の観察結果からシングルモードとなるコアサイズを特定した。さらにこの結果をもとに同じ三層構造の試料を用いてMZIの基本要素であるY分岐導波路を試作し、近視野像の観察から波長1.55mにおいてシングルモードを観察した。本研究会ではこれらの研究開発に関しての発表を行うとともに、今回の成果を発展させたMZI型光スイッチに関しても言及する。

Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) type thermo-optic switches are recently increasing the importance in the fields, such as optical fiber telecommunication and optical interconnection. The optical waveguides using planar polymers are developed as a component of MZI. On the other hand, proton beam writing (PBW), which is a direct-writing technique, has recently attracted much attention as a next generation micro-fabrication technology. In this paper, the fabrication of the optical waveguides was tried to be directly drawn using the PBW technique in a thin polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) layer spin-coated on a Si substrate because the refractive index of PMMA was increased by proton beam irradiation. As a result of this study, we demonstrated that the straight-line and the Y-junction PMMA film waveguides were successfully fabricated using PBW from the observation of working as a first single-mode at =1.55 m for long-haul optical fiber telecommunication systems. We will present that the fabrication results of the optical waveguides and future plans in the conference.

これまでに、Siイオンを注入した溶融石英板(SiO)が、11501250Cのアニールによって青色発光(発光ピーク波長400nm)を示すことを初めて見いだし、特に1200Cのアニール後にその発光ピーク強度が最大になることを実証している。しかし、1200C前後でのアニールは非常に高温で、実際の応用を考えた場合、熱に弱い部材との集積化が難しくなり、この材料を適用できる応用デバイスの範囲が制限されてしまう。そこで今回は、より低温のアニールでも発光するSiO基板の開発を目指し、Siイオンに加えてCイオンを注入して発光特性の評価を行った。その結果、700Cという比較的低温のアニールによっても、可視域の発光が観測できることを確認した。また、Siイオン及びCイオンの照射量の比によって、発光ピーク波長がシフトすることも確認できた。波長650nm付近の発光ピークは、Siイオン照射により発現するものと思われ、一方で波長450nm付近の発光ピークは、Cイオン照射によるものと考えられ、Siイオン及びCイオンの照射量の比によって、発光波長を制御できる可能性があることが示された。
