Abstract

The optical coupling between the various optical components requires low coupling loss and low reflection. Very often is the application of ray optics not useful, but the wave observation of light must be used. In most cases, the optical modes of the components (laser, fiber, waveguide) will be described in the form of a Gaussian distribution, and all coupling efficiencies will be calculated with the aid of an overlap integral. The biggest problem occurs by mechanical adjustment of the components and the long-term stability of the coupling.
