Problems solved by technology

Since the reflective layer is arranged between the waveguide layer and the lower cladding layer, the preparation process is incompatible with the traditional CMOS preparation process and the cost is high, so large-scale batch production cannot be carried out
[0004] In addition, how to realize the automatic alignment packaging of optical fiber and grating coupler is also a problem that must be considered in practical applications. So far, only a few packaging solutions have been initially reported in the conference report, but there is a problem in these solutions: that is, it is impossible to realize the optical fiber alignment. Automatic and efficient alignment with grating, packaging is difficult

Abstract

The invention discloses a grating coupler which is high in performance, low in cost and easy to package, comprising a reflecting layer, an isolating layer, a waveguide layer, a lower cladding and a substrate layer, wherein the lower cladding layer, the waveguide layer, the isolating layer and the reflecting layer are arranged on the substrate layer in sequence; the waveguide layer is provided with a grating; and the substrate layer is provided with a fiber alignment groove. A package structure of the grating coupler provides an efficient package scheme for nano waveguide devices, reduces the process difficulty and improves the feasibility of scale package integration.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of optical communication, in particular to an easily packaged waveguide grating coupler. Background technique [0002] As a strong competitor of next-generation interconnection technology, optical interconnection has the characteristics of wide frequency bandwidth, anti-electromagnetic interference, strong confidentiality, low transmission loss, and low power consumption, which are obviously superior to electrical interconnection. Alternative or complementary solutions for potential electrical interconnections. With the development of semiconductor lasers, optical detectors and planar dielectric waveguide technology, as well as the micro-processing technology is becoming more and more perfect driven by the vigorous development of microelectronics technology, the realization of optoelectronic integration becomes possible. Due to the advantages of integrated optoelectronic devices such as small size, low power consumpt...
