Abstract :
Modal characterization of silicon nanophotonic waveguide and its coupling to an optical fiber are investigated, which include: 1) a full-vectorial modal analysis of silicon nanophotonic waveguide and a TM-pass nanophotonic polarizer based on a simple taper structure; 2) a superlens based coupling structure between nanophotonic waveguide and singlemode fiber with a designed coupling loss ~0.64 dB and 3) a brief introduction on our cluster computing simulation platform and computational intelligence based optimizations for nanophotonic circuits.
