The Design, Fabrication and Characterization of Grating Couplers for SiGe Photonic Integration Employing a Reflective Back Mirror

We propose and demonstrate an efficient grating coupler for integrated SiGe photonic devices. A bottom metal layer is adopted to enhance the coupling efficiency on the wafer backside. A low coupling loss of −1.34 dB and −0.79 dB can be theoretically obtained with optimal parameters for uniform and a...
