Abstract
An optical coupling interface is a crucial component in Silicon Photonics (SiPh) technology for optical signal transmission. It is widely utilized to achieve on-chip light sources and optical input/output for SiPh chips. In this work, we report a coupling interface with a focusing structure based on the 3μm SOI waveguide platform to minimize mode profile mismatch, resulting in a high coupling efficiency and relatively large -1dB alignment tolerances across a wide bandwidth. Simulation results show that our design achieved a high transmission of greater than -0.85dB across the 1500-1600nm range, with a maximum of -0.847dB. When the laser is positioned 1.5μm away from the waveguide facet, the -1dB tolerances are ±0.62μm and ±0.45μm in the horizontal and vertical directions, respectively. Additionally, the interface is safe for lasers as it has a return loss (caused by reflection) of less than -30dB.
