Abstract
We present a systematic method for designing couplers for high efficiency coupling of electromagnetic energy from a ridge waveguide into the single mode region of a Photonic Crystal Waveguide (PCW). We show that we can achieve very high coupling into PCWs irrespective of the group velocity of the PCW modes.
