Abstract :
We demonstrate that a prism coupling characterization technique can lead to simpler Waveguide Bragg Grating (WBG) designs and easier fabrication by avoiding channel transmission. The experimental results have shown that the incident laser beam´s collimation was maintained after coupling to a planar waveguide with an overall efficiency of 10%.
