Abstract

The coupling between two parallel dielectric waveguides with a finite coupling length is investigated. The ends of the waveguides are tapered in order to reduce the scattering losses. It is shown that the taper sections can be utilized to achieve an effective coupling which is insensitive to the coupling length, thus, providing a much greater tolerance for the design and manufacturing of coupling devices.
