Apodized Prism Coupler for Optimized Evanescent Mode Matching Between Optical Fibers and Integrated Waveguides
This invention is a novel optical coupling apparatus and method that uses a prism-based coupler with an apodized coupling region to optimize mode matching between an optical fiber and an on-chip waveguide. This invention adapts apodization for prism coupling. It shapes the diffracted output field into a Gaussian-like profile that closely matches the...

Rapid Screening and Detection of Microplastic Particles
Background Myriad kinds of plastics have found their way into our environment, including many that either do not degrade or do so on the time scale of a thousand years. As plastics in the environment are subject to weather conditions, they break down into smaller particles, eventually reaching micron and even nanoparticle sizes. The presence of these...
