Titel
Theoretical investigations of optical waveguide tapers on InGaAsP/InP
Abstract
Optical waveguide tapers which connect two dielectric waveguides with different spot sizes of the field distribution are investigated theoretically. Taking the coupling of a glass fiber to a semiconductor waveguide as an example, taper geometries are investigated which have short length and no variation of the refractive index along the structure. The two-dimensional finite difference method is used to calculate the dependence of the field of the waveguide cross section geometry and the beam propagation method is used to determine the radiation losses. The theoretical results and the necessary steps for fabrication of tapers on InGaAsP/InP are discussed.
