Abstract :
Three fibre-matched InP waveguide structures are designed by the scalar transverse field formulation, a powerful tool for the 2D analysis of optical modes in arbitrarily composed media. High and polarisation-insensitive coupling efficiencies in the range from 87% to 91% are calculated at 1.3 mu m and 1.55 mu m wavelength.
