Abstract
Vertical coupling between silicon-on-insulator waveguides and optical fibers is achieved using adapted fibers with an angled facet. The proposed coupling scheme is demonstrated for waveguides containing uniform one-dimensional grating couplers. A coupling efficiency of 32% and a bandwidth of are measured at a wavelength of . We demonstrate single-step fabrication of these fibers using a simple molding technique.
