Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to low numerical aperture (NA) optical couplers, or spot size converters, that include a lateral taper section and/or a vertical adiabatic taper section. In embodiments, the optical couplers may be positioned on a silicon substrate proximate to V-grooves within the substrate to contain optical fibers to self-align and to couple with the optical couplers. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
