Abstract:
A single-mode planar nanophotonic waveguide includes an optical core, a cladding coating the optical core, and a structure for the optical coupling of the core of the waveguide with the core of a single-mode optical fibre. The coupling structure includes an adaptation element including a gradual broadening of the core of the waveguide ending in a broadened region of dimension adapted to the core of the optical fibre; and a light transmission element, optically connected to the broadened region, and defining a plane coupling surface by which light is transmitted to the optical fibre, the optical coupling ratio through the surface when the surface is in contact with the air being maximum for a predetermined coupling angle (θ) of the light relative to the coupling surface.
Abstract:
An optical device including at least one first optical waveguide coupled to a second optical waveguide of smaller cross-section which penetrates into it on the side of a first end. The first optical waveguide is capable of being coupled with an optical fiber on the side of a second end. A surface of the first optical waveguide includes a diffraction grating capable of introducing-extracting-sending back light into and from the first optical waveguide.
