Efficient fiber-optical interface for nanophotonic devices

We demonstrate a method for efficient coupling of guided light from a single-mode optical fiber to nanophotonic devices. Our approach makes use of single-sided conical tapered optical fibers that are evanescently coupled over the last ~10  μm to a nanophotonic waveguide. By means of adiabatic mode t...
