Reflectionless grating couplers for Silicon-on-Insulator photonic integrated circuits.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a novel grating coupler design which is inherently reflectionless by focusing the reflected light away from the entrance waveguide. The design rules for this reflectionless 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.

Grating 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...

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...
