Wavelength response of waveguide volume grating couplers for optical interconnects.
The wavelength response of a waveguide volume grating coupler (WVGC) is analyzed for coupling light from a slab waveguide into the superstrate. A leaky-mode approach is used in conjunction with rigorous coupled-wave analysis. A quantitative theoretical study of the effect of index modulation, waveguide index, and grating thickness on the wavelength bandpass of a WVGC is also presented. The FWHM...
متن کاملDesign of Grating-Assisted Waveguide Couplers with Weighted Coupling
The design of grating-assisted, channel waveguide, codirectional couplers is demonstrated using the Gel’fand-Levitan-Marchenko inverse scattering method. Weighted coupling coefficients are computed from rational function expressions for the desired wavelength response. Approximate formulas are derived which relate the waveguide and grating geometries to the computed coupling coefficients. The t...
متن کاملEffects of beam focusing on the efficiency of planar waveguide grating couplers.
Results of a theoretical and experimental investigation into the variation of coupling efficiency with coupling angle are presented for various beam focusing conditions for an integrated optical grating coupler. This investigation shows that the acceptance angle of the grating coupler can be broadened, within a relatively large range and with a relatively small loss of coupling efficiency, by f...
متن کاملFast and accurate modeling of waveguide grating couplers
A boundary variation method for the analysis of both infinite periodic and finite aperiodic waveguide grating couplers in two dimensions is introduced. Based on a previously introduced boundary variation method for the analysis of metallic and transmission gratings [J. Opt. Soc. Am. A 10, 2307, 2551 (1993)], a numerical algorithm suitable for waveguide grating couplers is derived. Examples of t...
