Abstract
An analysis of butt-joining coupling by GRIN tapered planar waveguides with hyperbolic secant refractive-index profiles is made from geometr ical optics. Numerical aperture conversion for on-axis optical connect ions and position and angle transformations of rays for off-axis optic al connections are obtained in order to design devices for integrated optics.
