Abstract:
A structure for coupling an optical signal between an integrated circuit photonic structure and an external optical fiber is disclosed as in a method of formation. The coupling structure is sloped relative to a horizontal surface of the photonic structure such that light entering or leaving the photonic structure is substantially normal to its upper surface.

Claim (Index 7):
The photonic coupler of  claim 6 , wherein the sloped grating is configured to redirect light from a horizontal direction along the horizontal portion of the photonic element to a vertical direction substantially orthogonal to the horizontal direction.
