An optical device package, comprising:
- a waveguide, the waveguide comprising:
- a main body;
- and
- a plurality of forks, wherein each of the plurality of forks has a tapering end and is extended from the main body, and wherein each of the tapering ends of the forks comprises a facet for receiving light, the plurality of forks having a substantially constant thickness;
- and
- an optical fiber having a surface configured to output the light into the waveguide;
- wherein a lateral distance between the surface of the optical fiber and at least one of the facets is less than about 25 micrometers (μm).
An optical device, comprising:
- a waveguide, the waveguide comprising:
- a main body;
- and
- a plurality of forks extended from the main body, each fork including a tapering end, wherein each of the tapering ends of the forks comprises a facet for receiving light, wherein the forks are configured to propagate light beams that form constructive interference in the main body, the plurality of forks having a substantially constant thickness;
