High Efficiency Multimode Waveguide Grating Coupler for Few-Mode Fibers

We describe a novel high coupling efficiency multimode waveguide grating coupler which uses a polysilicon overlay numerically optimized to improve both the directivity and mode-matching of the grating coupler with different modes. The device was realized experimentally and designed with a large mini...
