Abstract

The invention discloses an optical waveguide coupler. The optical waveguide coupler is composed of a plurality of waveguides having a gradually varied width and height. A front-end coupling region andan optical coupling region are arranged in sequence along the length direction of the optical coupler. Since the width and thickness of a front-end waveguide in the front-end coupling region are thesmallest at a light incident end, the optical coupler is allowed to have multiple waveguide tips, with speckles of the multiple waveguide tips overlapping one another, and the matching between the spot size of the optical coupler and the output spot size of a laser can be realized to couple the light output from the laser into a silicon photonic chip. The optical coupler has the advantages of simple structure and high optical coupling efficiency.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of optical communication applications, in particular to an optical waveguide coupler. Background technique [0002] With the increasingly higher bandwidth requirements for information transmission, the optical communication market has an increasing demand for high-speed optical modules above 100Gbps. It has become an urgent need to develop high-bandwidth, low-cost and high-integration high-speed optical modules using silicon photonics integration technology. [0003] At present, passive silicon optical devices such as high-speed silicon optical modulators, high-speed detectors, low-loss transmission waveguides, and wavelength division multiplexing have been fabricated on silicon optical chips. And it realizes single-channel 25Gpbs or 50Gbps information transmission by integrating various functional devices on the same silicon photonics chip. [0004] However, silicon is an indirect bandgap materia...
