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 10):
The optical apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein a radius of curvature of the curved section is defined by a geometrical relation between a portion of the first waveguide distal to the interface and a portion of the first waveguide proximal to the interface, wherein the portion of the first waveguide proximal to the interface is shaped such that an evanescent field of the optical signal is permitted to propagate through the portion between the first and second waveguides.
