Abstract:
A spot-size converter having a waveguiding structure. The first part of the waveguiding structure receives light from or transmits light to a first waveguide in a first propagation mode. The first part of the waveguiding structure has a longitudinally varying effective refractive index that decreases away from the first waveguide. The second part of the waveguiding structure transmits light to or receives light from a second waveguide in a second propagation mode. The second part of the waveguiding structure has a number of high-index elements arranged in a single plane, extending along a longitudinal waveguiding axis and at least partially overlapping the first part of the waveguiding structure. The first propagation mode of the first waveguide progressively transforms into the second propagation mode of the second waveguide along the longitudinal waveguiding axis through an overlap region between the first part and the second part of the waveguiding structure.

Claim (Index 25):
The spot-size converter according to  claim 20 , wherein the first part of waveguiding structure comprises a single waveguide element extending along the longitudinal waveguiding axis.
