Abstract
The coupling and conversion characteristics of four types of spot-size converter integrated laser diodes (SS-LDs) to a single-mode fiber (SMF) in the 1.3-/spl mu/m-wavelength region are numerically clarified. The SS-LDs are categorized into types with vertical tapers and types with a combination of a lateral taper and a thin-film core. The eigenmodes are obtained by the finite-element method (FEM). The semivectorial 3-D finite-difference (FD) beam propagation method (BPM) is used to calculate the propagating beams.
