We present the use of holographic UV writing to fabricate 2D grating couplers in doped planar silica-on-silicon, enabling the creation of large (~1 cm) and efficient circular beam delivery into free space. Our fabrication process inscribes a channel waveguide with in-plane 60° blazed grating to expand a fibre-coupled beam within a planar core layer, followed by an out-of-plane 45° blazed grating to couple light out of the substrate. Our out-of-plane gratings are fabricated using a modified interferometric arrangement with a prism and index matching water layer, the arrangement and latest results will be presented here.
