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 37):
An optical system comprising:\n a waveguide transition structure having a first waveguide and a second waveguide, wherein the first waveguide and the second waveguide overlap in a transition area, and wherein in the transition area, the first waveguide has a first dimension in a first direction that tapers in the transition area, or a second dimension in a second direction that transitions to a third dimension of the second waveguide in the second direction; and a first transmitter or receiver of electromagnetic radiation optically coupled to the first waveguide; and a second transmitter or receiver of electromagnetic radiation optically coupled to the second waveguide.
