Summary :

A mode-matching method in the sense of least squares are proposed for analyzing grating coupler having a periodic groove structure of finite extent which is formed on the surface of the core region of the thin-film waveguide. The grating couplers are analyzed for the plane wave incidence when the Bragg condition is satisfied. The discussion is developed about the grating couplers formed on the asymmetric and symmetric waveguides. The approximate scattered fields of each region of the grating coupler are described by the superpositions of the plane waves with band-limited spectra, respectively. These approximate wave functions are determined by the minimization of the mean-square boundary residual. This method results in the simultaneous Fredholm type integral equations of the second kind for these spectra. Results of analyses based on the first order approximate solutions are presented. A comparison between our results and those of Green's function approach for grating couplers having rectangular, triangular and sinusoidal grooves of different depth is presented.
