Abstract
We present a methodology to design broadband grating couplers using one-dimensional subwavelength gratings. Using the presented method, we design subwavelength grating couplers (SWGCs) with 1-dB bandwidths ranging from 50 to 90 nm. Our designed SWGCs have competitive coupling efficiency, as high as for the fundamental TE mode, and state-of-the-art back reflections, as low as .
