摘要
We report experimental results on compact and broadband focusing grating couplers, both in silicon-on-insulator (SOI) and gold on SOL An eight-fold length reduction of the coupling structure from fiber to photonic wire in SOI, as compared to a linear grating and adiabatic taper, is obtained, without performance penalty. A proof of principle is given for a focusing grating coupler in gold on SOI, with 20% fiber-to-focus efficiency.
