Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
We design a compact embedded metallic elliptical focus grating coupler based on gold or silver that efficiently interconnects free space with silicon nitride waveguide at 632.8nm wavelength. The 3D far-field radiation pattern for the proposed grating coupler shows much higher gain and directivity towards free space coupling than that of the etched grating coupler. Specifically the free space transmission efficiency achieves 65% for silver grating coupler. It can also further enhance the fluorescence signal detection for Cy-5 fluorophore by isolating peak diffraction angle for 10°. The dense system integration capability shows the application potential for on-chip interfacing sub-wavelength light processing circuits and near-field fluorescent biosensors with far-field detection of superb radiation directivity and coupling efficiency. © 2012 Optical Society of America.
