| Abstract | We present fully apodized and perfectly vertical surface grating couplers in 300 nm silicon waveguides. We achieve ultrahigh coupling efficiency of -0.35 dB at 1550 nm for an optical fiber with 10.4 µm mode-fiber-diameter. To this end, we followed a two stage process in which, we first optimized a pool of periodic grating couplers using machine learning techniques, and then apodized them over 100 parameters using the gradient based adjoint- method. Using a simple fabrication tolerance analysis, we also show that segment variations mostly causes a wavelength shift for the maximum coupling efficiency of the apodized grating couplers, similar to those typically observed for periodic grating couplers. |
