The invention relates to an integrated waveguide optical tap coupler, which includes an input waveguide, a tapered section, and a pair of output waveguides. The upper edges of the tapered section and one of the output waveguides defines an arc of a circle with a first radius, while the lower edges of the tapered section and the other output waveguide defines an arc of a circle with a second radius. The proximate ends of the two output waveguides are separated by a truncated wedge tip defining a distance S. With this arrangement excess loss is reduced by ensuring the wavefront is continuously tilted and the branching angles are very small.
