Abstract
Grating couplers (GCs) are important for light to couple between optical fibers and photonic integrated circuits (PICs). The Bound State in Continuum (BIC) waveguides offer new functionalities for PIC. High-Q resonators, electro-optical modulator, and photodetectors can be built on it without etching steps. Due to the special waveguide geometry of BIC waveguides, a high efficiency GC is still missing. In this work, we demonstrated a subwavelength grating (SWG) GC for BIC waveguide with a coupling efficiency of 8 dB and a 1 dB bandwidth >70 nm. The device shows ultra-broadband behavior which is extremely useful for BIC-based PICs.
