For design idea and the beneficial effect that further specifies grating coupler of the present invention and preparation method thereof, see also Figure 11 ~ Figure 15, when the inventor designs this device architecture, employing is based on the full vector emulation tool of two dimension of eigenmode extended method, by following research and analysis, the preferable range of key parameter in the device has been proposed:
At first calculated the efficient at different grating coupling grating reflectivity, transmissivity and outside diffraction light under the cycle, as shown in figure 11, wherein the fill factor, curve factor of coupling grating is fixed as 0.9 in this embodiment, but should not be limited to 0.9.Outwards diffraction light, reflected light, transmitted light three addition equal to import the general power of light.Can see the light to the 1550nm wavelength from result of calculation, along with the grating cycle increases gradually, reflected light reduces gradually, and outwards the efficient of diffraction light increases gradually, reaches maximum when the cycle is 0.68 ~ 0.70 μ m, near 90%.For different fill factor, curve factors, all there is optimization cycle, make reflection, transmitted light proportion less, and the outside ratio maximum of diffraction light.This cycle is the preferred cycle under this fill factor, curve factor.
The height of coupling grating diffraction direction and conducting block structure under this preferred cycle (in the design, being polysilicon), the relation of width have been calculated then, as shown in figure 12.Coupling grating is divided into two parts to the light of external diffraction, and part diffraction downwards enters in the oxygen buried layer of SOI substrate, and another diffraction that partly makes progress enters in the silicon dioxide layer of protection, and the part that diffraction direction is defined as the diffraction that makes progress accounts for total outwards ratio of diffraction light.Because optical fiber places silicon dioxide layer of protection top usually, be to improve coupling efficiency, need to strengthen the make progress part of diffraction of light, namely improve the directivity of optical diffraction.As seen from Figure 12, in preferred polysilicon width and altitude range, the directivity of optical grating diffraction is up to 94%.
Then calculated in the coupling efficiency between coupling grating and the optical fiber and the relation between the wavelength under the above optimum condition, i.e. spectral response, as shown in figure 13.This grating coupler under optimum condition in the 1550-1560nm wavelength coverage coupling efficiency reach 67%.
The inventor studies also and to find, except the above-mentioned parameter of grating, the thickness of oxygen buried layer also can influence the upwards diffraction efficiency of light because of the interference of light effect, and and then influences optical coupling efficiency.The optical coupling efficiency of light of 1550nm wavelength and the relation between the oxygen buried layer thickness have been calculated, as shown in figure 14.The result shows that coupling efficiency is changed to 68% with the variation of oxygen buried layer thickness from 55%.When oxygen buried layer thickness was 1.4 μ m, 1.9 μ m, 2.5 μ m, 3 μ m etc., it is maximum that coupling efficiency reaches.And for the traditional grating coupler of not introducing the polysilicon superstratum, its coupling efficiency wants much violent with the variation of oxygen buried layer thickness, from 20% to 50%, as shown in figure 15.This explanation, this new device architecture can greatly loosen the requirement to the SOI substrate specifications, provides bigger degree of freedom thereby choose for starting material.
