Apodized Waveguide Grating Couplers for Efficient Coupling to Optical Fibers
Abstract
We describe a shallow-etched diffractive waveguide grating coupler which achieves efficient coupling between single-mode fiber and a silicon-on-insulator optical waveguide. By the appropriate choice of waveguide/grating thicknesses and varying the coupling strength of the grating coupler via tailoring its fill factor to optimize the mode matching, a coupling loss of only 1.2 dB was obtained for each fiber/silicon waveguide interface. The coupling strength and effective refractive index of grating with different fill factors were also characterized to confirm the design simulations. The back reflection was suppressed by varying the coupling strength, leading to further enhancement of the coupling efficiency.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
