19 Grating Coupler Operation Detuned Case 2 Optical wavelength is smaller than the grating period, 0 n e < K = 2 = n e k 0 = 2 n e Vertical output at an angle, no 2 nd order back-reflection 0 19

23 Detuned second-order gratings: A first generation of gratings was etched 40 to 50nm deep, with a 610 nm pitch and uniform 50% fill factor. These have a coupling efficiency of about 20% and a 60 nm 3 db bandwidth [16] without index matching material between grating and fibre. The second generation of couplers used has a 70 nm etch depth, a 630 nm pitch and a higher coupling efficiency of up to 35% when cladded with oxide, with an almost 60 nm wide 3 db bandwidth.

25 Dirk Taillaert, PhD Thesis, IMEC Vertical coupling Source: Dirk Taillaert, PhD Thesis, IMEC The case of vertical coupling ( =0) is very interesting from a practical point of view. Vertical coupling can be achieved when the grating period equals the wavelength divided by the refractive index. For a very shallow grating, this index is the effective index of the waveguide mode. As mentioned in chapter 3, this grating is called a second order grating. But for the grating coupler, the first order diffraction is used. The second order diffraction is reflecting back into the waveguide. To avoid any confusion, we will use the term coupler grating instead of second order grating in the rest of this work. Figure 4.2 shows the reflection R as a function of wavelength for dif Almost vertical coupling To avoid the reflection at the grating, we have to choose a working point away from the second order reflection peak. Either a shorter or longer wavelength can be chosen. As a result, light is coupled out not exactly vertical, but at a small angle with respect to the vertical direction. This grating is also called a detuned grating. Instead of changing the wavelength, the grating period can be changed. The grating can be negatively or positively detuned (figure 4.5). In a negatively detuned grating, the grating period is smaller (K is larger) or the wavelength is longer ( is smaller) compared to the case of vertical coupling. In a positively detuned grating, the grating period is larger ( is smaller) or 25
