Abstract

We demonstrate a 240−μm-diameter “windmill” array of four large-area 80°-opening-angle surface grating couplers fabricated on Silicon-on-Insulator platform with 7-dB 360° horizontal field of view. Error-free OWC data transmission of NRZ OOK 8 Gbps was achieved at the eye-safe power level.
