Abstract :
A high alignment tolerance scheme for coupling a laser diode array to a singlemode fibre array using a tapered waveguide array as an intermediate coupling device is proposed. The numerical results show a 0.5 dB lateral alignment tolerance of ±6 μm and maximum coupling efficiency of -8.6 dB
