An optimized grating coupler featuring both ultra-broad bandwidth and high-efficiency has been achieved for the first time for the +1 diffraction order at a central operating wavelength 1.55 μm for TM polarization in horizontal slot waveguides. With proper design of the thickness of the groove thick...
