Objective-first design of high-efficiency, small-footprint couplers between arbitrary nanophotonic waveguide modes.
We present an algorithm for designing high efficiency (∼98%), small-footprint (1.5-4 square vacuum wavelengths) couplers between arbitrary nanophotonic waveguide modes in two dimensions. Our "objective-first" method is computationally fast (15 minutes on a single-core personal computer), requires no trial-and-error, and does not require guessing a good starting design. We demonstrate designs fo...
متن کاملDesign for broadband high-efficiency grating couplers.
In this Letter, we propose general optimization methods to design broadband high-efficiency grating couplers for planar waveguides. We attribute the coupling bandwidth to the mismatch of effective indices between the diffracted beam and the actual grating structure around the operation wavelength for fiber to waveguide excitation. The coupling bandwidth formula is deduced. A simple parameter-se...
متن کاملScalar Modes and Coupling Characteristics of Eight-Port Waveguide Couplers
In this paper, we have given the scalar modes and discussed the coupling characteristics of an eight-port waveguide coupler consisting of four parallel single-mode waveguides. The analysis is based on a rectangular waveguide model which has been known to give accurate results in the case of two waveguide directional couplers. A classification of its various scalar modes is also given.
متن کاملGrating Couplers for Coupling between Optical Fibers and Nanophotonic Waveguides
Nanophotonic waveguides and components are promising for use in the large-scale integration of photonic circuits. Coupling light between nanophotonic waveguides and a single-mode fiber is an important problem and many different solutions have been proposed and demonstrated in recent years. In this paper, we discuss a grating coupler approach. Grating couplers can be placed anywhere on a circuit...
