Subwavelength-Structured High-Efficiency Nanophotonic Coupler for Air Top-Cladded Silicon Waveguide

Efficient coupling between an optical fiber and silicon waveguide has been a major practical challenge for silicon photonics since the first day due to the huge mode size mismatch between them. In this paper, we propose a subwavelength structured edge coupler for efficient coupling light into&#x...
