Gaussian beams from variable groove depth grating couplers in planar waveguides

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Analysis, fabrication, and characterization of variable groove depth planar waveguide grating couplers are presented. A formula is derived to describe the grating groove depth variation necessary to produce an outcoupled beam of arbitrary profile. A variable depth grating for producing a Gaussian beam profile is fabricated on a waveguide by ion-beam etching through a scanning slit apparatus. A photoresist grating placed on the waveguide provides a mask to define the grating etched onto the waveguide. The near-field irradiance of the outcoupled beam is measured and shown to approach a Gaussian profile.
