Abstract

See full text

An optical waveguide structure may include a dielectric layer having a top surface, an optical waveguide structure, and an optical coupler embedded within the dielectric layer. The optical coupler may have both a substantially vertical portion that couples to the top surface of the dielectric layer and a substantially horizontal portion that couples to the optical waveguide structure. The substantially vertical portion and the substantially horizontal portion are separated by a curved portion.
