Zinc Oxide Semiconductor for Photonics Structures Applications

The paper presents investigations concerning the analysis of photonic structures with grating couplers. In the paper basic theoretically information on photonic structures with grating couplers is presented. The results of numerical investigations on photonic structures with grating couplers are discussed, too. Investigations show an essential influence of the geometrical parameters of grating couplers on the effectiveness of the input and output of optic power into and out of this photonic structure. In the paper the selected results of experimental realizations of photonic structures with grating couplers based on zinc oxide ZnO are presented.
