Abstract
A low index layer between the boundary of a first-order grating combined with a high index cover layer provides significantly higher reflected power per unit length and reduces losses at the waveguide-grating interface compared to conventional gratings in III-V waveguides. The dependence of the peak and spectral width of the reflected power for Enhanced Coupling Strength (ECS) gratings is analyzed for two different ECS grating geometries. These properties of ECS gratings allow integration of optical components such as high-speed modulators with short horizontal cavity lasers that can operate without temperature control over wide temperature and wavelength ranges.
