Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of optical communication and discloses an optical grating coupler and an optical signal coupling method. The optical grating coupler comprises a top silicon layer, a base silicon layer and a silicon dioxide layer, wherein the silicon dioxide layer is arranged on the upper surface of the base silicon layer, the top silicon layer is disposed on the upper surface of the silicon dioxide layer, the top silicon layer is of a structure formed by ranking at least two right triangles in the direction perpendicular to the light transmission direction, and received optical fibers face toward the rank structure of the right triangles. According to the optical grating coupler and the optical signal coupling method, through application of triangular optical gratings, work bandwidth of the optical grating coupler is increased, and applicability of the optical grating coupler is improved; besides, simulating calculation is performed through a three-dimensional time domain finite difference method so that TE and TM light coupling efficiencies are the same, optical grating structural parameters are determined, polarization insensitivity is achieved; the optical grating coupler has the advantages of being simple in structure, wide in work bandwidth, low in polarization loss and high in coupling efficiency.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of optical communication, and is mainly applicable to a grating coupler and an optical signal coupling method. Background technique [0002] Optical transmission has the characteristics of large bandwidth and high speed. Therefore, the combination of photon carrier and electronic carrier is an inevitable trend in the future development of information transmission. The efficient coupling between waveguide and optical fiber is the key to realize optoelectronic integration. The grating coupler has a simple structure, mature manufacturing process, and is easy to integrate, and is widely used in integrated optoelectronic devices and systems. [0003] However, the working bandwidth of the existing grating couplers is relatively small, which limits the working wavelength of the input light, thereby limiting the applicable range of the grating coupler and restricting the application of optical transmission.
