Abstract
Waveguide connections are studied to determine how the geometry of the transmitting and receiving waveguides impacts light losses. Optical software is used to determine the properties of the connections. This study also predicts where leaks occur for a given waveguide. Fillets are primarily investigated in this preliminary paper.
