Longitudinally shifting waveguide junctions can achieve high efficiency light coupling from external silica waveguides into photonic crystal waveguides (PCWs) without requiring taper PCW structures in the waveguide junctions. Due to the periodic field distribution of PCWs along the propagation direc

## Abstract Different tapered‐waveguide junctions are investigated for coupling light between traditional dielectric and photonic‐crystal waveguides characterized by a triangular lattice of air holes. Efficient approaches for the taper design, which allow flat‐transmission efficiency higher than 85
## Abstract We employ topology optimization with the finite‐element method to improve the coupling between a slab waveguide and a photonic crystal waveguide. Here, we apply topology optimization in a small design region to realize the improvement of the coupling. Also, we simplify an optimized stru
In this paper, we show how the coupling of light into a photonic crystal waveguide can be greatly enhanced by creating a periodic modulation in the dielectric structure surrounding the entrance of the waveguide. In this way, surface modes supported by the system can funnel the light that impinges on
