研究成果
The complex mode matching method is effective for modeling and simulation of surface-emitting grating couplers, offering significant computational savings with accurate results. The method's accuracy critically depends on the numerical accuracy of the complex modes. The reduced 2D model is validated against full 3D simulations, and optimization using a genetic algorithm yields consistent results with literature.
