论文摘要
我们报告了在无定形Si:H上结合2D光栅耦合器(2D GC)的极化,在光子BICMOS平台的后端制造。 2D GC可以用作混合硅光子相干发射器的接口,该发射器可以在散装的Si Wafers上实现。制造的2D GC在电信C波段中运行,并显示-5 dB的实验耦合效率,晶圆变化为+/- 1.2 dB。概述了未来设计几代的效率提高和提高性能稳定性的可能性,还研究了向O波段设备的扩展。
We report on polarization combining 2D grating couplers (2D GCs) on amorphous Si:H, fabricated in the backend of line of a photonic BiCMOS platform. The 2D GCs can be used as an interface of a hybrid silicon photonic coherent transmitter, which can be implemented on bulk Si wafers. The fabricated 2D GCs operate in the telecom C-band and show an experimental coupling efficiency of -5 dB with a wafer variation of +/-1.2 dB. Possibilities for efficiency enhancement and improved performance stability in future design generations are outlined and extension towards O-band devices is investigated as well.
