Apodized focusing subwavelength grating couplers for suspended membrane waveguides
We demonstrate an apodized focusing subwavelength grating (SWG) for suspended membrane waveguides on silicon-on-insulator. Finite-difference time-domain simulation predicts -1.7 dB coupling efficiency and a 3 dB bandwidth of similar to 50 nm for the transverse-magnetic mode apodized SWG, which has 98% field overlap with propagation mode in the single mode fiber. A modified phase matching formula is proposed to design the focusing apodized SWG. Better than -3.0 dB coupling efficiency and a 3 dB optical bandwidth of similar to 50 nm is demonstrated experimentally.

Abstract
We demonstrate an apodized focusing subwavelength grating (SWG) for suspended membrane waveguides on silicon-on-insulator. Finite-difference time-domain simulation predicts -1.7 dB coupling efficiency and a 3 dB bandwidth of similar to 50 nm for the transverse-magnetic mode apodized SWG, which has 98% field overlap with propagation mode in the single mode fiber. A modified phase matching formula is proposed to design the focusing apodized SWG. Better than -3.0 dB coupling efficiency and a 3 dB optical bandwidth of similar to 50 nm is demonstrated experimentally.
