Efficiently coupling Gaussian beams into single-mode fibers (SMF) plays an important role in scientific experiments. However, the optical misalignment will decrease the coupling efficiency dramatically.

Coupling efficiency is the fraction of optical power that enters the guided fundamental mode. This article demonstrates how to set up a coupling system and examines the multiple tools available in Sequential Mode for beam and fiber coupling analysis, including Paraxial Gaussian Beam.

EXFO's new FTBx-5235 gives operators the power to address all the features of today's hybrid networks—DWDM wavelengths, CWDM wavelengths and Remote PHY—with a single tool. EXFO provides highly accurate, easy-to-use intelligent optical spectral analyzers (OSAs) tailored to both laboratory and manufacturing environments. Some typical applications are: testing of optical systems, for example wavelength division multiplexing systems in optical fiber. Optical Spectrum Analyzer consists of a narrow-band tunable optical filter, a photo-detector and low noise, highdynamic range electronics, as schematically shown in Fig 1.

The coupling efficiency is highly sensitive to the grating's pitch p p, etch length le l e and etch depth he h e as well as to the fiber's position x x and tilting angle θ θ. These five parameters are usually optimized together to maximize the coupling efficiency at the. Surface grating coupler is a preferred candidate that provides flexibility for circuit design and reduces effort for both fabrication and alignment. In the past decades, considerable research efforts have been made on in-plane grating couplers to address their insufficiency in coupling efficiency. We attribute the coupling bandwidth to the mismatch of effective indices between the diffracted beam and the actual grating structure around the operation wavelength for fiber to waveguide excitation.
