Description

We report on our latest developments of a planar fiber-chip-coupling scheme, using angle polished, polarization maintaining (PM) fibers. Most integrated photonic chip components are polarization sensitive and a suitable way to launch several wavelength channels to the chip with the same polarization is the use of PM fibers. Those impose several challenges at processing and handling to achieve a stable, permanent, and low-loss coupling.
We present the processing of the fibers in detail and experimental results for our planar and compact fiber-chip-coupling technique.
