Apodized Prism Coupler for Optimized Evanescent Mode Matching Between Optical Fibers and Integrated Waveguides
This invention is a novel optical coupling apparatus and method that uses a prism-based coupler with an apodized coupling region to optimize mode matching between an optical fiber and an on-chip waveguide. This invention adapts apodization for prism coupling. It shapes the diffracted output field into a Gaussian-like profile that closely matches the...
