Efficiency Enhanced Grating Coupler for Perfectly Vertical Fiber-to-Chip Coupling

In this work, a bidirectional grating coupler for perfectly vertical coupling is proposed. The coupling efficiency is enhanced using a silicon nitride (Si<sub>3</sub>N<sub>4</sub>) layer above a uniform grating. In the presence of Si<sub>3</sub>N<sub>4</s...
