Box 7, 75 AE Enschede, The Netherlands, Tel: , a.leinse@el.utwente.nl We present a method for low loss coupling of multiple fibers to optical waveguides. Simultaneous alignment of multiple fibers is done by placing the fibers in a V-groove array. Coupling efficiency can be enhanced by placing a high numerical aperture (HNA) fiber (MFD µm) between the standard telecom fiber and a horizontal tapered waveguide. The splicing loss between the standard telecom fiber and the HNA fiber was less than. db. The coupling loss between the HNA fiber and the tapered waveguide channel was simulated and lower than.5 db for perfect alignment. This gives a total coupling loss from a standard telecom fiber to the waveguide channel of less than.6 db. Introduction In modern telecommunication data-signals are transported over optical fibers and processed in Integrated Optical Circuits (IOC). To be able to process the light in the IOC it has to be coupled from the fiber into the IOC (polarization independent). To be commercially interesting both the loss and the price of this coupling should be low. Therefore a simple fabrication technique and coupling of multiple fibers at once is desirable. The coupling that was realized is a coupling between standard telecom fibers and optical waveguides. The telecom fibers have a Mode Field Diameter (MFD) of µm. The dimensions (h x w) of the waveguides are.8 x.5 µm and they consist of a SiON core and a SiO buffer and cladding. This results in an optical field as given in figure. As can be seen the MFD of this field is much smaller than µm. HNA standard fiber To let the dimensions of the field in the fiber match telecom the dimensions of the field in the waveguide, the fiber dimensions of the field in the waveguide are increased by tapering the waveguide. Because it is very difficult to increase the dimensions of the field in the waveguide to a MFD of µm the MFD of the fiber has to decrease. This is done by splicing a fiber with a smaller MFD ( µm) to the telecom fiber. Figure : Intensity of the field in the optical waveguide waveguide channel Figure : Schematic representation of the arrayed fiber to chip coupling. is a Fiber Matched Channel. is the tapered waveguide
2 Because multiple fibers have to be aligned to the waveguides simultaneously, the fibers are placed in a V-groove array. Schematic this entire system looks as in figure. Realization Splicing fibers A fiber with a MFD of µm (Thorlabs U-HNA fiber) is spliced to a telecom fiber (both fibers have an outer diameter of 5 µm). During this splice process the core of the HNA fiber diffuses into the cladding, which results in an adiabatic tapered coupling between the telecom fiber and the HNA fiber. [][8][9]. This adiabatic tapered coupling converts the spot size in the fiber from µm to µm. The process is optimized (optimization of the number of arc discharges and duration of these discharges), by measuring in situ the loss of two splices during the splice process (during the measurement only one of the two splices can be optimized). Schematically this is given in figure. An optimum was found at arc discharges of ms each. Reproducible losses as low as. db/splice were measured. FMC and tapered waveguide The tapering of the optical waveguide is done only in horizontal direction. There is no tapering in vertical direction because that makes the fabrication process for this taper more complex. Between the HNA fiber and the tapered waveguide there is a Fiber Matched Channel (FMC) that matches the dimensions of the fiber The length of this FMC isn t very important. It is only there so the devices can be diced properly. A length of µm is there more than enough. The tapered waveguide waveguide than acts as a spot size converter between the FMC and the optical waveguide. The dimensions of the tapered waveguide are therefore on one side equal to the dimensions of the FMC and on the other side to the dimensions of the optical waveguide. With simulation-software of Kymata b.v. the ideal dimensions of the FMC (for which the field in the FMC matches the field in the HNA fiber) were determined. At a width of. µm the coupling loss between the fiber and FMC was polarization independent and lower than.5 db (this Loss (db) TE width of FMC (µm) Figure : Overlap loss between HNA fiber and FMC for different width of FMC TM Figure : Schematic overview of the setup used to measure the loss in the splices during the splicing process. is shown in figure in which the overlap loss for different FMC widths is given). The Loss (db) TE Misalignment (µm) Figure 5: Loss due to misalignment of the FMC. TM
3 loss in this figure is for perfect alignment of the fiber to the waveguide. Misalignment of the waveguide was simulated and a coupling-loss-curve as in figure 5 was the result. The shape of the tapered waveguide after the FMC is an adiabatic shape with a minimum length of 5 µm (which was determined by BPM simulations), in figure 6. radiation loss (db) taper length (µm) Figure 6: Radiation loss vs. taper length for various lengths of the taper Figure 7: Dimensions of the entire waveguide structure between HNA fiber and optical waveguide (including FMC and tapered waveguide) the radiation loss of such a adiabatic tapered waveguide is shown for different lengths. For the entire waveguide-structure all the dimensions are given in figure 7. Another parameter is the thickness of the SiO bufferlayer under the SiON core. This thickness isn t very critical. It only has to be thick enough so no light leaks into the silicon wafer. A thickness of 6 µm should be sufficient. Multiple fiber alignment To be able to align multiple fibers simultaneously the fibers were placed in a V-groove array (figure 8). These V-grooves were fabricated by KOH etching of silicon wafers. A Figure 8: SEM photos of V-groove array etched in silicon wafer. The distance between the V-grooves is 5 µm certain number of fibers are placed in the V-grooves after that a glass-plate is pushed on top and fibers are pushed in at the bottom of these grooves (schematically this looks as in figure 9). It is very important that the V-grooves aren t too wide (maximum width = 5 µm) Figure 9: Schematic representation of placing fibers in V-groove array Figure : Fiber fixed at three points in a V-groove.
4 because the top of the fiber should be lower than the top of the V-groove. This is because else the fiber won t be pushed to the bottom of the V-groove. In this method the fiber is fixed at three points (see figure ) and is therefore statically fixed. The V-grooves are typically etched with a bottom angle of 7.5. Measuring the position of the fibers in these arrays is done by coupling light from one fiber into another (figure ) and align the fibers such that maximum transmission is reached. Array Measurements To see what the position of the fibers in the V-groove array is (and than especially the position of the core of the fibers) the fibers in the two sets of fiber arrays were actively aligned as in figure (fiber is aligned to fiber of the other array, fiber to fiber etc.). This was done for each fiber in the array and the displacement for which perfect alignment is reached (for each fiber separately) is compared to the position for perfect alignment of the outer fiber (fiber in figure ). The results of this measurement are given in figure (here the position of fiber number is set to zero. The vertical direction is in the direction of the arrow in figure 9. The horizontal direction is perpendicular to the V-groove) According to the specifications of the fiber and the dimensions of the V-grooves the deviation of the core of the fiber in horizontal direction should be lower than?.9 µm and in vertical direction?. µm. This is true for the points in figure. All these points are within range of the specifications of the fiber. Conclusions Figure : Two fiber arrays placed opposite to each other to couple light from one into the other. The position of the core of each fiber can be found through this method From the previous it became clear that a standard telecom fiber was coupled to an optical waveguide with a loss of less than.6 db. The total loss of the coupling consists of the loss in the fiber splice, the loss in the coupling from HNA fiber to FMC and radiation loss from the tapered waveguide. This total loss is not more than.6 db for perfect alignment. A coupling with a fiber array was realized in which the position of the core of the fibers was within the specification of the fiber. In the fiber array the maximum deviation of the core of the fiber was. µm, which results in an additional loss of. db maximum. position (µm) - vertical position of the fibers horizontal position of the fibers 5 fibernumber Figure : Position of the core of the fibers in the V-groove array with the position of the most outer fiber set to zero.
