There are mainly two categories of fiber-to-chip optical coupling: off-plane coupling and in-plane coupling. In this paper, we mainly focus on edge couplers in. Silicon photonics has drawn increasing attention in the past few decades and is a promising key technology for future daily applications due to its various merits including ultra-low cost, high integration density owing to the high refractive index of silicon, and compatibility with current. Silicon photonics is an enabling technology that provides integrated photonic devices and systems with low-cost mass manufacturing capability. It has attracted increasing attention in both academia and industry in recent years, not only for its applications in communications, but also in sensing. To fully harness their benefits, an efficient. Abstract—In this work, we introduce a novel, fully auto-mated wafer-level edge coupling measurement system designed specifically for silicon photonic integrated circuits (PICs). Unlike the ASIC and CPU chips that act as the brains.
