Methods and systems relating to optical waveguide tapers

Photonic integrated circuits required connection to germanium doped silica cored optical fibers or silica cored and fluorine doped silica cladding optical fibers which have low index contrast and large mode field diameters. However, the optical waveguide within a photonic integrated circuit such as formed using silicon-on-insulator or compound semiconductors tends to be high index contrast and small mode field diameter. Accordingly, it is necessary to implement adiabatic waveguide tapers with a high coupling efficiency and small footprint in order to couple into the photonic integrated circuits to / from the optical fiber. Prior art tapers have been generally high loss and absorb valuable die footprint. In contrast the inventors demonstrate a small low loss waveguide taper designed using a methodology they refer to a “constant loss”.
