Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An optical coupling input/output interface including a multilayer ribbon comprising a plurality of layers with each layer having a plurality of waveguides. The I/O interface further includes a coupling interface section, wherein the plurality of layers are staggered to allow for evanescent coupling of the waveguides of each layer with a corresponding layer of waveguides in a photonic device.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
1 . An optical coupler comprising: a plurality of layers of waveguides; and a coupling interface section which is staggered to allow for coupling of the plurality of layers of waveguides with a corresponding layer of waveguides in a photonic device. 2 . The optical coupler as claimed in claim 1 wherein at least one layer of the plurality of layers has waveguides near a surface of the coupling interface section to allow for evanescent coupling with waveguides of a cor…
