Abstract
The phenomenon of optical tunneling can be used not only to couple energy from a fiber or a beam to a waveguide, as described in Chap. 6, but also to couple one waveguide to another. Couplers of this type are usually called directional couplers because the energy is transferred in a coherent fashion so that the direction of propagation is maintained. Directional couplers have been fabricated in two basic geometries: multilayer planar structures, and dual side-by-side channel waveguides.
