Nanoholes Grating Couplers for Coupling Between Silicon-on-Insulator Waveguides and Optical Fibers

Simulation and experimental results of grating couplers composed of arrays of nanoholes are presented. The use of an array of holes instead of a conventional waveguide grating provides an additional degree of freedom in the design of the coupler, thus enabling fabrication using the same photolithogr...
