The application relates to the field of
optical communication technology, and particularly discloses a one-way
coupling vertical
grating coupler implementation method based on topological
photonics; the method is based on an SOI platform, first, the size parameters of a uniform
grating coupler are modeled and optimized; a single-
etching rectangle in the
grating is replaced by double-adjacent-rectangle
etching to form a stepped structure, the up-down symmetry of the grating is destroyed, and the downward
radiation is inhibited and the upward
coupling is strengthened relying on the topological one-way
coupling resonance principle; a super-
Gaussian chirp function is introduced to modulate the
etching width, the central period index, the envelope width and the super-
Gaussian order are optimized, and the
fiber mode field is matched; meanwhile, a
waveguide and grating differential height design is adopted to expand the optimization space. The application does not need a DBR mirror and can be prepared only by
surface etching, so the process is simplified; the grating to single-mode
fiber coupling efficiency reaches 83.7%, the 3dB bandwidth is more than 79nm, and the application has the advantages of high
coupling efficiency, wide bandwidth and high process
fault tolerance.
