Abstract
Optical spot-size converters are a key enabling technology for photonic integrated circuits. By simultaneously reducing the coupling loss and increasing the alignment tolerance to optical fibers, spot-size converters can dramatically lower the insertion loss and simplify packaging of photonic integrated circuits, especially multiple input/ output devices.
