ABSTRACT:
A hybrid and tapered waveguide coupler that has two different single-mode waveguide sections for light at two different wavelengths to couple light at the two different wavelengths into or out of an optical device located in a reach of an evanescent field of the guided optical energy in the waveguide coupler.
