Grating Coupler Design for Vertical Light Coupling in Silicon Thin Films on Lithium Niobate

In this paper we provide a design for a vertical grating coupler for a silicon thin film on lithium niobate. The parameters-such as the cladding layer thickness of lithium niobate, fiber position, fiber angle, grating period, and duty cycle are analyzed and optimized to reduce the mode mismatch loss...
