Efficient Vertical-Cavity Mid-IR Thermal Radiation to Silicon-Slab Waveguide Coupling Using a Shallow Blazed Grating

In this work we investigate the coupling of radiation originating from a vertical-cavity enhanced thermal emitter (VERTE) into an optical waveguide, which can, for instance, act as a sensing element. We present full wave modelling results demonstrating highly efficient emitter-to-waveguide diffracti...
