Abstract

See full text

A tapered optical waveguide includes a tapered waveguide section formed of a polymer. The tapered waveguide section has an optical fiber coupling end and a waveguide coupling end opposite the optical fiber coupling end with each of the optical fiber coupling end and the waveguide coupling end being generally planar. The optical fiber coupling end has a larger area than the waveguide coupling end to define a horizontal and vertical taper between the optical fiber coupling end and the waveguide coupling end. An optical system incorporating the tapered polymer waveguide is also disclosed.
