ABSTRACT:
An optical device may include a fiber or waveguide that is intended to be coupled to another waveguide having a significantly larger/smaller cross-sectional size. As such, two wedge shaped waveguides may be positioned atop a tapered waveguide. The dual wedge design may allow for shorter taper lengths and smaller final waveguide cross section dimensions.
