چکیده
A new generation of Silicon-on-Insulator fiber-to-chip grating couplers which use a silicon overlay to enhance the directionality and thereby the coupling efficiency is presented. Devices are realized on a 200 mm wafer in a CMOS pilot line. The fabricated fiber couplers show a coupling efficiency of -1.6 dB and a 3 dB bandwidth of 80 nm.

متن کاملReflectionles grating couplers for Silicon-on-Insulator photonic integrated circuits
We propose a novel grating coupler design which is inherently reflectionles by focusing the reflecte light away from the entrance waveguide. The design rules for this reflectionles grating coupler are explained and the grating coupler design is investigated by means of 3D FDTD simulations for the case of a Silicon-on-Insulator based platform.

متن کاملCost-effective CMOS-compatible grating couplers with backside metal mirror and 69% coupling efficiency.
A highly efficient grating structure for the coupling between standard optical fibers and single-mode waveguides in the silicon-on-insulator platform realized in a CMOS fabrication process is presented. The cost-effective method introduces a backside metal mirror to the grating coupler without need of an extensive wafer-to-wafer bonding. A coupling efficiency of -1.6 dB (around 69%) near the te...
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 کاملSimultaneous optimization of coupling efficiency and bandwidth of waveguide grating couplers
We analyse the coupling of light between optical fibers and silicon waveguides in the Silicon-On-Insulator (SOI) platform. This platform, providing both high-index contrast and low optical absorption, along with CMOS compatibility, is the leading candidate for the realisation of integrated photonic circuits in silicon[1]. However one outstanding issue is how to couple light from a single-mode o...
