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 4):
The optical apparatus of  claim 1 , comprising a further waveguide provided between the first and second substrates for providing evanescent coupling between the first waveguide and the second waveguide.
