초록

저밀도 파장분할다중화 기술을 광 집적 소자에 효율적으로 활용하기 위하여 광섬유와 평면기판 내 광 도파로 사이의 파장 선택적 광 결합기 구조가 효율적인 수단으로 고려될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 공기 도랑 격자를 지닌 실리콘 도파로와 단일 모드 광섬유 간 결합을 고려하였다. 격자의 깊이에 따른 결합 효율의 경향성과 그 한계점을 조사하였다. 이를 위해 결합 모드 이론에 기반을 둔 모델링을 통하여 설계된 결합기 구조의 결합효율을 예측하고, 유한요소법을 이용한 시뮬레이션 결과와 정량적으로 비교 분석 하였다.

In order to effectively utilize the Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing(CWDM) technology in optical integrated devices, a design of a wavelength selective coupler structure between an optical fiber and an optical waveguide in a flat substrate is can be considered. In this paper, we consider the coupling between a silicon waveguide with an air trench and a single mode fiber. We investigated the tendency of coupling efficiency and its limitations according to the grating depth. For this purpose, the coupling efficiency of coupler structure designed through modeling based on coupled mode theory is predicted and quantitatively compared with simulation results using finite element method.
