Realization of Tapered Waveguide by Stretching the Rod Waveguide

By stretching the rod waveguide with different velocities in opposite directions, the tapered waveguide can be fabricated. In condition of taking no account of volume expansion caused by heating and under the assumptions of volume conservation,the rod waveguide can be stretched freely in the heated region without being stretched outside of the heated region. A model,which shows the relation of the transition shape and the two factors, that is the ratio of two velocity and the heated region length, is presented for the shape of the taper transition through mathematic deduction. Based on this model, a desired tapered waveguide can be fabricated. The tapered waveguide are widely used for fabricating tapered fiber couplers and sensors. In addition, the conclusion can be used for fabricating fused fiber coupler.     

Multiple-quantum-well GaInAs/GaInAsP tapered broad-area amplifierswith monolithically integrated waveguide lens for high-powerapplications

A 1.48-μm tapered broad-area semiconductor laser amplifier with a monolithically integrated waveguide lens as demonstrated. The gain saturation characteristics of the tapered amplifier were examined. A maximum output power of 300 mW and a 3-dB saturation power of 200 mW under quasi-CW conditions were obtained from the amplifier without the waveguide lens. Output power of 200 mW was obtained with a broad emission spectrum of ~30 nm when the device was used as a superluminescent diode. The amplified output was focused to a single lobe by the monolithically integrated aspheric waveguide lens, which may be useful for efficient coupling of the output into a single-mode fiber     

A simple laterally tapered waveguide for low-loss coupling tosingle-mode fibers

Low-loss coupling between semiconductor photonic devices and single-mode fibers is achieved using a simple InP/InGaAsP tapered waveguide. The proposed simple structure has a small and nearly square guiding core at its output facet. In this structure, the output field has a non-Gaussian profile, but low-pass filter coupling can be achieved by optimizing the design of the guiding core sizes. The waveguide is composed of a laterally tapered InGaAsP guiding layer and an InP cladding region on an InP substrate, facilitating integration of the waveguide with active devices using conventional processes. The waveguide is shown to have a total insertion loss of 2.6 dB, including a coupling loss of 0.9 dB and large ±2.5-μm misalignment tolerance in lateral and vertical directions with single-mode filters

High efficiency 1.3 mu m superluminescent diode with absorbing tapered waveguide

A new type of superluminescent diode (SLD) with a tapered waveguide in the absorbing region is proposed. This SLD structure monitors output power, as it emits monitor light from the rear facet that is about one-tenth the output power from the front one. Device parameters have been determined by beam propagation methods. A 1.3 mu m SLD fabricated by liquid phase epitaxy (LPE) with an absorbing waveguide 200 mu m long and with a 6.5 degrees tapered angle can emit output power of 13.5 mW from the front facet at a 200 mA driving current without lasing.<>     

Tapered polymer single-mode waveguides for mode transformation

This paper presents a tapered polymer waveguide structure for coupling light between optical waveguides with differing geometries. Optical fibers, lasers, and other photonic integrated circuit components can be coupled with tapered waveguides. The polymer waveguide performs a mode transformation between different mode shapes and sizes. For example, the mode transformation can be from an elliptical laser diode mode to that of a circular optical fiber mode. The input and output of a tapered waveguide structure are analyzed, for the case of laser to fiber coupling, in order to determine the effect of misalignments on the coupling efficiency. Adiabaticity in waveguide propagation is discussed. The fabrication of our polymer waveguides is also described
