✦ Synopsis

A novel technique to improve the coupling efficiency from a single mode fiber to a semiconductor waveguide is proposed. The coupling is provided by an intermediate polymer waveguide patterned atop a GaAs/GaAIAs structure. Computer simulations showed that a good coupling efficiency can be achieved with this technique.
