Abstract
An MOVPE vertical coupler structure is used to provide efficient coupl ing between InP/InGaAsP optoelectronic integrated circuit (OEIC) waveg uides and cleaved monomode fibres. A 2 dB improvement in the coupling efficiency of TE polarised light of wavelength 1.55 mu m is demonstrat ed. The structure does not require any additional growth steps, and is compatible with vertically integrated detector structures.
