High efficiency can be achieved (Ref.1) by micro manipulating the fibre butted to the waveguide, while also taking steps to reduce modal field mismatch. Manipulating the fibre is however a complex and time-consuming operating which does not easily lend itself to multi-port devices. The use of silicon 'V' grooves (Ref.2) can aid fibre alignment and reduce the complexity of the operation while maintaining a high coupling efficiency. However, the component utilises two technologies and the alignment of multi-port devices face down onto the silicon surface poses problems. Problems may also arise from silicon and lithium niobate having different thermal expansion coefficients.","PeriodicalId":208165,"journal":{"name":"Seventh Topical Meeting on Integrated and Guided-Wave Optics","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122405114","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
