Two schemes of utilizing SCFs are investigated, namely a tapered SCF coupler and a D-shaped SCF coupler. A tapered SCF coupler is chosen for further optimization, leading to a coupling efficiency of ∼97% obtained from the results of 3D FDTD simulation.journal article10.1364/OPTCON.4933162-s2.0-85170646495https://api.elsevier.com/content/abstract/scopus_id/85170646495
