WG1.1 -
Development of Fully Three-dimensional Wavefront Matching Method and its Application to the Design of Ultrasmall Si Mode Converters
08:30-08:45
2017-10-04 08:30 2017-10-04 08:45 America/Denver Development of Fully Three-dimensional Wavefront Matching Method and its Application to the Design of Ultrasmall Si Mode Converters Fully three-dimensional wavefront matching method for waveguide discontinuity problem is newly developed. In principle, the developed method can be applied to optimize any geometries including reflection. The application for Si mode converters (TE0-TE1 and TE0-TE2) are demonstrated and ultrasmall structure with low-loss is obtained. Hilton Santa Fe Historic Plaza Kahiki/Lily

O-Band Sub-Wavelength Grating Coupler
09:15-09:30
2017-10-04 09:15 2017-10-04 09:30 America/Denver O-Band Sub-Wavelength Grating Coupler We demonstrate a compact, single-etched sub-wavelength grating coupler for the O-band application, which has a measured coupling efficiency of -4 dB, a 3-dB bandwidth of 39 nm, back reflections below -20 dB, and a design footprint of 20 um × 40 um.
