  • Abstract
    Few-micron-scale vertical silicon coupler that has high coupling efficiency, weak wavelength dependence, and weak incident angle dependence of wavelength window was achieved with vertically curved silicon waveguide “elephant coupler” formed by ion implantation method compatible with LSI manufacturing technology.
