Abstract
A novel high-efficiency silicon-chip-to-fiber grating coupler is investigated here. By introducing a dual layer grating structure with an inter-layer lateral shift to mimic 45° tilted mirror behavior, perfectly vertical coupling is successfully demonstrated. Our numerical results show that a peak silicon-chip-to-fiber coupling efficiency about 70% is possible near 1550 nm. Meanwhile, for the entire telecom C-band, i.e. wavelengths from 1530 nm to 1565 nm, the coupling efficiency is > 50% and the back reflection is less than < 1%. Our proposed high-performance silicon perfectly vertical coupling structure is suitable for interfacing with multi-core fiber platform, which may play an important role in the future CMOS photonic integration technology.
