    Area of Science:

    • Photonics
    • Materials Science
    • Integrated Optics

    Background:

    • Silicon nitride waveguides offer ultralow propagation losses (<0.1 dB/cm) at 1550 nm.
    • Standard silicon nitride waveguides have insufficient scattering strength for efficient grating couplers.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To enhance grating coupler efficiency for silicon nitride waveguides.
    • To improve the directionality of grating couplers in integrated photonic circuits.

    Main Methods:

    • Proposed and fabricated an enhanced grating coupler design using an amorphous silicon layer atop silicon nitride.
    • Optimized a self-alignment fabrication process for amorphous silicon and silicon nitride layers.
    • Evaluated coupling losses and 3 dB bandwidth of the enhanced grating coupler.

    Main Results:

    • Achieved experimental coupling losses of 5 dB.
    • Obtained a 3 dB bandwidth of 75 nm.
    • Demonstrated improved directionality for the grating coupler.

    Conclusions:

    • The amorphous silicon on silicon nitride grating coupler design effectively enhances coupling efficiency.
    • The optimized fabrication process maintains low waveguide losses.
    • This advancement is suitable for integrated photonic applications requiring efficient light coupling.
