Design of Silicon Nitride Edge Coupler for Monolithically Integrated Laser on Silicon Photonic Circuits With Relaxed Alignment Tolerance and High Efficiency

We propose a bi-layer 5-tip edge coupler in a multilayer silicon nitride-on-silicon (SiN-on-Si) waveguide platform. The coupler is used for the integration between a monolithic 1550 nm laser and a single-mode SiN waveguide. The simulated coupling efficiency is 92.8%. The vertical 1-dB-los...
