Grating couplers are a promising approach to implement efficient fiber–chip coupling.
However, their strong polarization dependence makes dual-polarization operation …

Subwavelength gratings refer to periodic structures that have a period less than half the
wavelength of light in the material so that no Bragg diffraction mode is supported. Instead …

We present an apodized, single etch-step, subwavelength grating (SWG) high positional
