Abstract

Over the last 20 years, silicon photonics has revolutionized the field of integrated optics, providing a novel and powerful platform to build mass-producible optical circuits. One of the most attractive aspects of silicon photonics is its ability to provide extremely small optical components, whose typical dimensions are an order of magnitude smaller than those of optical fiber devices. This dimension difference makes the design of fiber-to-chip interfaces challenging and, over the years, has stimulated considerable technical and research efforts in the field. Fiber-to-silicon photonic chip interfaces can be broadly divided into two principle categories: in-plane and out-of-plane couplers. Devices falling into the first category typically offer relatively high coupling efficiency, broad coupling bandwidth (in wavelength), and low polarization dependence but require relatively complex fabrication and assembly procedures that are not directly compatible with wafer-scale testing. Conversely, out-of-plane coupling devices offer lower efficiency, narrower bandwidth, and are usually polarization dependent. However, they are often more compatible with high-volume fabrication and packaging processes and allow for on-wafer access to any part of the optical circuit. In this paper, we review the current state-of-the-art of optical couplers for photonic integrated circuits, aiming to give to the reader a comprehensive and broad view of the field, identifying advantages and disadvantages of each solution. As fiber-to-chip couplers are inherently related to packaging technologies and the co-design of optical packages has become essential, we also review the main solutions currently used to package and assemble optical fibers with silicon-photonic integrated circuits.

Fig. 54. Schematic of an end-to-end photonic-circuit with an identical 2D-GC for both the input and output optical interconnects. (a) In the initial scheme, the input mode and the output mode both have the same polarization angle, i.e., φin=φout, so the end-to-end transmission exhibits twice the polarization dependence of a single 2D-GC, i.e., PDL(φin)·PDL(φout)=PDL2(φin). (b) In the π shift scheme, the polarization states of the input and output modes are rotated such that the maximum and minimum of PDL(φin) from the input 2D-GC are anticorrelated with PDL(φout), so that PDL(φin)·PDL(φout)=0.

(b) Optimized distance between FA and PIC leads to a strong, narrow Gaussian beam shape. (c) Using red light to align the fiber to the EC. Scattering is observed as the waveguide turns 90°.

Fig. 58. Schematic effects of epoxy shrinkage on coupling interface. Black elements represent the PIC, the submount is indicated in gray, the fiber (or FA) is reported in blue, yellow is the mechanical epoxy, and green is the optical epoxy. Red arrows show the direction of the force during shrinkage. (a) GC, notice that optical epoxy also plays a mechanical role. (b) Single fiber. (c) FA attached directly to PIC submount. (d) FA attached to PIC submount through its own. Panels (e) and (f) show a practical realization of package designs in (b) and (d), respectively.

Fig. 61.
Fig. 61. (a) Schematic of free-space fiber-to-PIC coupling using a single μ-lens. Here, the mode emitted by the edge coupler is weakly focused by a μ-lens to give a 10 μm MFD mode size and NA that matches the SMF28 fiber. The weakly focused mode is then directly free-space coupled to the core of the SMF28 fiber. (b) Schematic of free-space fiber-to-PIC coupling using a pair of μ-lenses. Here, the first μ-lens collimates the emitted mode when it has diverged to an MFD=25–50  μm. This large collimated mode is incident on the second μ-lens, which refocuses it onto the core of the SMF28 fiber with the required MFD and NA.
