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 20):
The optical apparatus of  claim 19 , comprising at least one recessed region in at least one layer disposed between the first and second substrates, wherein the at least one spacing element is provided in the at least one recessed region.
