Bragg’s grating coupler in planar optical sol-gel waveguides
The aim of our investigation was to develop a technique of producing Bragg’s grating couplers on planar waveguides obtained by means of the sol-gel technique. Introducting a light beam into the waveguide structure is in the case of planar optical systems always an essential technological problem, requiring simple and reproducible solutions without extending the waveguide structure too much. The...

The aim of the presented investigations was to develop a technique of producing Bragg's gratings on planar waveguides for their application in acoustooptic structures. Waveguides are obtained by means of the sol-gel technology and they are deposited on piezoelectric plates. The introduction of a beam of light into the structure of the waveguide is in the case of planar or strip optical systems ...
متن کاملFocused Ion Beam (fib) for the Fabrication of Grating Couplers in Si3n4 Waveguides
Diffraction gratings are very convenient elements for coupling out-of-plane light in planar waveguides of sub-micronic thickness. They have been investigated in dielectric [1] and highindex waveguides [2], and a platform for modeling has been created [3], but technology should still be improved for giving gratings efficient and simple as modeled. Standard methods like reactive ion etching throu...
