Abstract

A half-wave thin film was formed on the facet of a proton-exchanged waveguide by the oblique deposition of Ta2O5. Planar-type butt coupling of the waveguide on the z-cut LiTaO3 substrate to the AlGaAs laser diode in transverse electric mode oscillation was realized with coupling efficiency as high as 53%.

Key words  butt coupling - proton-exchanged waveguide - oblique deposition - thin film
