Abstract:
A waveguide structure for optical coupling is provided. The waveguide structure includes a first waveguide embedded in a cladding of a lower refractive index than the first waveguide, a second waveguide of a higher refractive index than the cladding, and an intermediate waveguide. The first waveguide and the second waveguide are physically arranged at the same side of the intermediate waveguide to establish an optical coupling between the first waveguide and the second waveguide through the intermediate waveguide. The first waveguide material has a refractive index value smaller than or equal to 3.

Claim (Index 13):
The method according to  claim 11 , wherein the first waveguide layer is a Low Pressure Chemical Vapor Deposition (LPCVD) silicon nitride layer.
