Polarization Splitting Grating Coupler for Optical Antenna of LiDARs Consisting of Two Gratings Coupling Light in a Perfectly Vertical Direction

Grating couplers (GCs) are devices for transmitting and receiving the light propagated in a waveguide in silicon photonic integrated circuits (PICs). In this study, we propose a polarization splitting GC (PSGC) for the optical antenna of light detection and ranging (LiDAR). The PSGC was designed on...
