Lesson 9: Create a Chip-to-Fiber Butt Coupler
Create a Chip-to-Fiber Butt Coupler
This lesson describes how to create a chip-to-fiber coupler. You will create a model of a simple spot-size transformer based on lateral tapering, as reported in [1]. Highly efficient chip-to-fiber coupling with large alignment tolerances is important for applications of optoelectronic integrated semiconductor devices. Such coupling requires a low-loss change of the light beam spot…

Webinar: Multicore Fiber Design & Analysis
January 5, 2021
Optiwave Systems Inc. offers software tools to simulate & analyze single-mode and multimode multicore fibers with/without trenches and air-hole assisted structures. The supported modes in the structure are accurately obtained by modal analysis in OptiMode software. Then the coupling coefficients between the modes in the same core or different cores are calculated and the crosstalk…
