Fiber-Optic Switch Study.
Abstract
The principle of operation of fiber-to-planar-waveguide grating couplers has been established experimentally and theoretically. Initial experiments yielded coupling fractions up to 6% and showed the expected angular behavior. Further development of fiber-planar waveguide grating couplers should allow the coupling of single-mode fibers to single-mode planar guides with efficiencies that approach 90%. Multimode fibers may also be coupled but with reduced efficiencies which depend on the acceptable angular spread of the coupled beams. (Author)
