Abstract

We present a simulation-based study on a 3D heterogeneous photonic integration scheme based on a vertical microring coupler (VμRC). Our research introduces a more compact and efficient layout of photonic devices in the vertical direction, surpassing the limitations of traditional planar integration methods. This investigation focuses on optimizing the performance of the VμRC by analyzing critical parameters such as the dimensions of the microring and the waveguide and the refractive indices of surrounding materials, which serve as the guideline for future manufacturing of the device. The simulation results demonstrate that the careful selection and optimization of these parameters significantly impact the transmittance and coupling characteristics of the VμRC. To demonstrate the validity of this simulation model, we applied it to a few practical cases and achieved comparable results with our previous experiments.
