High-efficiency single-order waveguide grating coupler.
High-efficiency single-order grating coupling between an optical waveguided mode and a volume wave is achieved by means of a double-sided corrugated cover film that has phase-shifted undulations. A greater than 90% outcoupling ratio into air is demonstrated for weakly guiding ion-exchanged waveguides. The conditions for efficient coupling and the tolerances on them are established.
متن کاملTransfer matrix analysis of the unidirectional grating-assisted codirectional coupler.
The unidirectional grating-assisted codirectional coupler (U-GACC) has recently been proposed. This unique structure permits irreversible coupling between orthogonal waveguide eigenmodes by means of simultaneous modulation of both the real and imaginary parts of the refractive index in the coupling region. Analysis of the U-GACC has until now relied on coupled mode theory, which can be restrict...
متن کاملDistributed grating-assisted coupler for optical all-dielectric electron accelerator
1098-4402= A Bragg waveguide consisting of multiple dielectric layers with alternating index of refraction becomes an excellent option to form electron accelerating structure powered by high power laser sources. It provides confinement of a synchronous speed-of-light mode with extremely low loss. However, laser field cannot be coupled into the structure collinearly with the electron beam. There...
متن کاملCMOS-Compatible Nonuniform Grating Coupler with 86% Coupling Efficiency
We report a highly efficient grating coupler fabricated using a CMOS-compatible technology process with a record efficiency of -0.64 dB (86.3 %) at a wavelength of 1527 nm and a 1dBbandwidth of 44 nm. The performance of the structure is enhanced through a backside metal mirror and the use of a nonuniform grating. Introduction Ten years after the pioneering work of D. Taillaert 1 , the design of...
متن کاملUltrahigh-efficiency apodized grating coupler using fully etched photonic crystals.
We present an efficient method to design apodized grating couplers with Gaussian output profiles for efficient coupling between standard single mode fibers and silicon chips. An apodized grating coupler using fully etched photonic crystal holes on the silicon-on-insulator platform is designed, and fabricated in a single step of lithography and etching. An ultralow coupling loss of -1.74 dB (67%...
