Abstract
A major problem with standard step index fibers is their inefficiency in coupling to integrated optical devices and waveguides, semiconductor devices such as laser diodes, other fiber waveguides with different properties, etc. Coupling losses are mainly caused by mismatch of the modal field distributions, and partly by changes in wave impedance.
