Abstract

We present experimental results for focusing
grating couplers for coupling between optical fiber and
nanophotonic Silicon-on-Insulator waveguides in
polarization diversity configuration. The footprint is
reduced by a factor of 8 compared to standard grating
couplers.We present experimental results for focusing
