Disclosed herein are techniques, methods, structures and apparatus for optically coupling optical waveguides and optical structures exhibiting different widths in which In which a focusing reflector is used to optically couple a relatively wide optical waveguide to a relatively narrow optical waveguide. An exemplary method according to the present disclosure comprises the steps of: providing the first waveguide that is 5 or more wavelengths in width; providing the second waveguide that is 3 or less wavelengths in width; coupling light emanating from the first waveguide to the second waveguide through the effect of a slab waveguide having a curved edge. |
