Semiconductor laser to single-mode fiber coupler

Abstract: Promising results of various coupling experiments between laser diodes and single-mode fibers to determine the optimum coupling method are reported. The cylindrical lens method is shown to be most efficient, with a coupling loss of 1.8 dB under optimum alignment conditions. More than -2 dB coupling efficiency is attained with a cylindrical lens whose radius is less than 8 microm. The laser to fiber coupling characteristics are estimated by Gaussian beam approximation. The optimum radius of a cylindrical lens, … Show more

“…Gaussian beam propogation and theoretical calculation of coupling efficiency: We describe the Gaussian beam outgoing from fiber end and the coupling characteristic between a single-mode fiber and waveguide. In order to calculate the coupling efficiency and alignment tolerance, the Gaussian approximation is adopted, which is sufficient to calculate coupling characteristics (Saruwatari and Nawata, 1979).…”

“…3, the normalized frequency V can take values between 1.9 \V\ 2.4 (Saruwatari and Nawata 1979). The mode-field radius is defined as the distance from the fiber axis where the power density has its maximum value down to the radius value where the power has dropped to 1=e 2 (13.5 %).…”
