title: A compact bi-wavelength polarization splitting grating coupler fabricated in a 220 nm SOI platform.
abstract: We experimentally demonstrate a polarization splitting grating coupler that is operational near 1310 nm and 1550 nm in a silicon-on-insulator platform, using the same fiber angle for both wavelength bands. At 1550 nm, the device has an insertion loss of 7.1 dB and a 1.5-dB transmission window of 35 nm. At 1310 nm, the insertion loss and 1.5-dB transmission window are 8.2 dB and 18 nm, respectively. Polarization isolation at 1550 nm is 24 dB. This is the first experimental demonstration of a bi-wavelength polarization-splitting grating coupler.
