Robust optimization of adiabatic tapers for coupling to slow-light photonic-crystal waveguides

We investigate the design of taper structures for coupling to slow-light modes of various photonic-crystal waveguides while taking into account parameter uncertainties inherent in practical fabrication. Our short-length (11 periods) robust tapers designed for λ = 1.55μm and a slow-light group veloci...
