Abstract

Guidelines for adiabatic taper design, and calculated mode field distributions at the both ends of an optimally shaped taper were derived. Finite difference method and time domain method were used to model the axially non-uniform tapered structures. Taper loss was calculated as a function of length. Numerical results showed that loss decreased with taper length and became negligible for tapers longer than 50 μ meter.
