However, integrated photonics still faces many challenges, which prevent its large-scale industrial application. One of the major challenges is how to achieve efficient coupling between standard single mode fibers and photonic chips. The difficulty is that the cross-sectional dimensions of the two are not matched seriously, the diameter of the fiber core of the standard single-mode optical fiber is about 10 mu m, and the cross-sectional dimension of the planar waveguide on the integrated photonic chip is 4 x 0.5 mu m2~1*0.2µm2. At present, the optical coupling between the optical fiber and the photonic chip is mainly realized by adopting a grating or lens coupling scheme, the end face coupling loss of the two schemes is 2-3 dB, and nearly half of optical power has to be wasted. In addition, the efficiency of grating coupling depends on the wavelength, and a specific grating coupler can only realize high-efficiency coupling within a certain wavelength range and cannot meet application requirements with wide requirements on the working wavelength range. In addition, the two methods both require a complicated alignment process in the process of assembling the optical fiber and the chip, are slow, and are not suitable for mass production.
At present, there are no products on the market that can solve the above problems, only some simple optical fiber array products are provided, the end face of the optical fiber array is slightly complicated to be subjected to tapering treatment or lens coupling, and the industry still lacks a solution capable of improving the assembly process.
