A novel electrooptic integrated acceleration seismic geophone was presented. Mach-Zehnder waveguide interferometer of Si-based MOEMS (micro-opto-electro-mechanical system)acceleration seismic geophone was researched and its optimization structure design was accomplished. The material of buffer layer and coating layer is K9 glass. Two Bak7 glass Y-branching waveguides with width of 4 μm and thickness of 0.4 μm
and six guide mirrors are employed in interferometer. A S-shaped curve is used for the transition connecting two offset parallel waveguides in Y-branching. Because it is difficulty to make the branching angle large enough by using conventional Y-branching
a 90° directional change by a vertical mirror facet to realize the special structure between measuring arm and reference arm is designed. The inner dielectric film of the mirror facet is aluminum plating. To prevent the polarization state of TE mode polarized light from changing after passing through the aluminum film
4 polarizers with length of 1 mm have been used. The simulation results performed in BPM and the experiment agrees with the theoretical analysis well.
