Efficient and broadband single-mode waveguide coupling of electrically injected optical antenna based nanoled

Abstract

We propose a novel structure to provide broadband and efficient single-mode waveguide coupling of the output of an electrically injected slot antenna based nanoLED. Using 3D FDTD simulations, we show it is possible to achieve 90% waveguide coupling with greater than a 380nm 1dB bandwidth.
