Helica™ Evanescent Coupler – Standard, Polarization Maintaining, or Polarizing
The Helica™ Evanescent Coupler (Helica™ EC) is a fiber-based coupler for convenient and efficient evanescent coupling of light into planar waveguide structures or other microphotonics. This coupler is available in three basic variations:
- EC-S: Standard (S) evanescent coupler
- EC-PM: Polarization maintaining (PM) evanescent coupler
- EC-P: Polarizing (P) evanescent coupler
The Helica™ EC is typically provided pre-attached to an Aluminum frame (see below) which can be mounted onto positioning equipment for optimal mating with the photonic device of interest. However, customized mounting specifications can be accommodated as well.
The Helica™ EC products are typically fabricated of Corning ® SMF28™ optical fibers but can be provided in other fibers to accommodate, for instance, other wavelengths of interest. Similarly, polarization maintaining versions typically utilize Corning ® Puremode™ PM photonic fibers but can utilize any PM fibers to suit your integration needs. Polarizing Helica™ ECs integrate Chiral Photonics’ in-fiber polarizer together with the evanescent coupler to deliver polarized light to the coupled device.
Applications:
- Planar waveguide structure coupling
- Photonic microstructure coupling
- Nanostructure coupling
