Compact Silicon Photonic Grating Coupler With Dual-Taper Partial Overlay Spot-Size Converter

A compact silicon photonic grating coupler enabling fiber-to-chip light coupling at a minimized footprint is proposed. The proposed coupler, which is partially overlaid at the tapered region, downsizes the effective length of the spot-size converter to 60 μm while reducing the lateral hei...
