High-efficiency Silicon-On-Insulator Fiber-to-Chip Grating Couplers Using a Silicon Overlay
We present the realization of a new generation of Silicon-On-Insulator fiber-tochip grating couplers which use a silicon overlay to enhance the directionality and thereby the coupling efficiency. Devices fabricated in a CMOS pilot line show a coupling efficiency of -1.6dB and a 3dB bandwidth of 80nm.
متن کاملDiffraction grating couplers milled in Si3N4 rib waveguides with a focused ion beam.
Focused ion beam milling is a processing technology which allows flexible direct writing of nanometer scale features efficiently substituting electron beam lithography. No mask need results in ability for patterns writing even on fragile micromechanical devices. In this work we studied the abilities of the tool for fabrication of diffraction grating couplers in silicon nitride waveguides. The g...
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...
متن کاملCompact grating couplers on silicon-on-insulator with reduced backreflection.
The backreflection in commonly used grating couplers on silicon-on-insulator (SOI) is not negligible for many applications. This reflection is dramatically reduced in our improved compact grating coupler design, which directs the reflection away from the input waveguide. Realized devices on SOI show that the reflection can be reduced down to -50 dB without an apparent transmission penalty.
متن کاملImaging by silicon on insulator waveguides
We present multiphoton imaging based on semiconductor planar waveguide technology which can be used as a transmitter and receiver simultaneously. In particular, silicon on insulator waveguides with p-i-n diode structures are used to demonstrate 5 m resolution three-photon imaging of Er3+ :Y2O3 microparticles by using 1550 nm excitation. Additional theoretical study has been performed to demonst...
