  • Vertically and laterally confined 3D optical coupler
    Patent number: 7120335
    Abstract: An on-chip silicon-based optical coupler used to guide light from an optical fiber to a waveguide. The incoming wave is confined vertically by stacks of graded index materials. In the lateral direction, a linear taper formed by etched holes or trenches confines the wave.
    Type: Grant
