摘要: Silicon nitride (Si$_3$N$_4$) photonic platform has recently attracted increasing attention for Si$_3$N$_4$ photonic integrated circuits $(\rm PIC)$. A diffraction grating with the only etched top-layer in tri-layer Si$_3$N$_4$ optical waveguides is proposed, which shows a simple fabrication process, high upward diffraction efficiency, and lower far-field divergence angle. The measured results of the diffraction grating at a wavelength of 905 nm show the average upward diffraction efficiency of 90.5% and average far-field divergence angle of 0.154$^\circ$, which shows a good agreement with the design results with the upward diffraction efficiency of 91.6% and far-field divergence angle of 0.105$^\circ$.
