Provided is a planar focusing grating coupler, comprising: a light
waveguide including a cladding layer and a core layer formed on a
substrate and maintaining incident laser light in a single mode; and a
focusing grating coupler formed to have a predetermined grating pitch at
a certain area over the core layer, wherein the light using to the light
waveguide forms a focal point with the grating layer in the direction
perpendicular to the focusing grating coupler, whereby an ultra small
pickup head for a mobile optical disk can be used.
