Abstract
A system having an optical-coupling region for evanescently coupling light between first and second optical-waveguiding structures is disclosed. Within the optical-coupling region, the first and second optical-waveguiding structures exhibit mirror symmetry with respect to each other across or about at least one of a plane and an axis and include a segment that is not straight.
