Abstract:
An optical apparatus  20  for evanescently coupling an optical signal across an interface  30  is described. The optical apparatus  20  comprises a first substrate  22  and a second substrate  24.  The optical signal is evanescently coupled between a first waveguide  26  formed by laser inscription of the first substrate  22  and a second waveguide  28  of the second substrate  22.  The first waveguide  26  comprises a curved section  34  configured to provide evanescent coupling of the optical signal between the first and second waveguides  26, 28  via the interface  30.

Claim (Index 1):
Optical apparatus comprising:\n a first substrate comprising a first waveguide formed by laser inscription of the first substrate; and a second substrate comprising a second waveguide, wherein the first waveguide comprises a curved section configured to provide evanescent coupling of an optical signal across an interface between the first and second waveguides, the evanescent coupling including or consisting of evanescent coupling between the second waveguide and at least part of the curved section of the first waveguide.
