Abstract:
Methods and systems for two-dimensional mode-matching grating couplers may include in a photonic chip comprising a grating coupler at a surface of the photonic chip, the grating coupler having increased scattering strength in a direction of a light wave traveling through the grating coupler: receiving an optical signal from a first direction within the photonic chip; and scattering the optical signal out of the surface of the photonic chip. A second optical signal may be received in the grating coupler from a second direction within the photonic chip. The second optical signal may be scattered out of the surface of the photonic chip. The increasing scattering strength may be configured by increased width scatterers along a direction perpendicular to the direction of light travel. The increased scattering strength may be configured by a transition of shapes of scatterers in the grating coupler.

Claim (Index 14):
The system according to  claim 11 , wherein the increasing scattering strength is configured by increased width scatterers along a direction perpendicular to the direction of light travel.
