| Abstract: | A novel semiconductor laser diode with a two dimension nonlinearly tapered waveguide is proposed and its property is studied by Fourier expanding method. It is shown that coupling loss between the semiconductor laser diode and a single mode fiber is reduced effectively, the reduction role of the nonlinearly tapered waveguide is more apparent than that of a linearly tapered waveguide , the minimum coupling loss is 0.36 dB, and the far field divergence is decreased. The reduction mechanism is discussed. |
