Abstract

A micro-optical pickup has been implemented by using a focusing waveguide grating coupler. The grating coupler was designed and fabricated on a single mode BPSG (boron phosphor silica glass) waveguide layer. The coupling area was 1×1mm² containing more than 1,500 grating lines, where the maximum and minimum grating pitch were 296nm and 811nm, respectively. The focal length and the numerical aperture of the present grating coupler were 530 μm and 0.68 with 632.8nm He-Ne red laser. The full width half maximum diameter of the focal spot was measured to be 450 nm and 510 nm in x and y direction.
