A 2-dimensional apodized grating coupler for interfacing between single-mode ?bers and photonic circuits on silicon-on-insulator is demonstrated. The grating coupler with grating grooves are realized by columns of fully etched nanostructures, with the feasibility of digitally tailoring the effective refractive index of each groove in order to obtain the Gaussian-like output diffractive mode in order to enhance the coupling efficiency to the optical fiber. Compared with the uniform grating couplers, the coupling efficiency of the apodized grating couplers increased by 4.3% and 5.7%, respectively, for the nanoholes and nanorectangles as refractive index tuning layer.
Keywords:grating couplers; equivalent refractive index; mode matching; coupling efficiency
