High coupling efficiency grating couplers on lithium niobate on insulator

Abstract

We demonstrate monolithically defined grating couplers in Z-cut lithium niobate on insulator for efficient vertical coupling between an optical fiber and a single mode waveguide. The grating couplers exhibit 44.6\%/coupler and 19.4\%/coupler coupling efficiency for TE and TM polarized light respectively. Taperless grating couplers are investigated to realize a more compact design.
