Abstract
Light transfer between a curved single-mode fiber and a single-mode planar waveguide is investigated experimentally in dependence on the refractive index and thickness of the planar waveguide and for different polishing depths. Marcuse´s model is applied to treat theoretically the coupler, leading to a very good agreement with the experimental results
