ABSTRACT:
An optical device includes a first waveguide having an end portion configured to receive an optical signal, the optical signal having a fundamental mode; a second waveguide having an end portion spaced from the end portion of the first waveguide; and a cladding layer surrounding the first and second waveguides. The first waveguide is configured such that the optical signal undergoes multimode interference to focus the fundamental mode at the end portion of the second waveguide.
