Abstract:
Some embodiments of the present disclosure describe a tapered waveguide and a method of making the tapered waveguide, wherein the tapered waveguide comprises a first and a second waveguide, wherein the first and second waveguides overlap in a waveguide overlap area. The first and second waveguides have a different size in at least one dimension perpendicular to an intended direction of propagation of electromagnetic radiation through the tapered waveguide. Across the waveguide overlap area, one of the waveguides gradually transitions or tapers into the other.

Claim (Index 26):
A waveguide transition structure, comprising:\n a first waveguide with a first thickness extending along the waveguide transition structure from a first end of the waveguide transition structure, wherein the first waveguide has a first width; a second waveguide with a second thickness different from the first thickness extending from a second end of the waveguide transition structure opposite the first end; wherein the first waveguide is in a first plane and the second waveguide is in a second plane parallel to the first plane; wherein the first waveguide and the second waveguide are adjacent and overlap in a transition area; and wherein the first waveguide's first width tapers in the transition area, or the first waveguide's first thickness transitions to the second thickness in the transition area.
