<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device for effectively performing laser-in-slider light delivery to integrated optics. <P>SOLUTION: A light source 202 is coupled to an input facet that directs light from the light source to a core layer 206 of a waveguide 205 and a gradient index material layer 216 disposed beside the core layer along a portion of a propagation length of the waveguide. Light is radiated from the light source into the input facet. In response, the gradient index material layer directs light to the core layer at least along the portion of the propagation length. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
