Abstract

We present an adiabatic taper design in three dimensions (3D) for coupling light into photonic crystal defect waveguides in a square lattice of circular dielectric rods. The taper is a two-stage structure, whereby the first stage makes the transition from a dielectric waveguide to a coupled-cavity waveguide. The second stage subsequently transforms the waveguide mode from an index-guided mode to a band-gap guided mode. We discuss differences between the two dimensional (2D) device and its three dimensional (3D) slab version.
