Overview
The drive toward miniaturization and photonic integration is accelerating innovation across industries such as data communications, telecommunications, healthcare, and automotive. A critical challenge in this transformation is the efficient coupling of optical signals from fiber to photonic chips—a process that directly impacts device performance, manufacturing yield, and overall system reliability. This webinar introduces a comprehensive simulation workflow for optical fiber-to-chip coupling using microlenses and edge couplers, leveraging industry-leading tools such as Lumerical MODE and FDTD, and Zemax OpticStudio. Attendees will discover how simulation can be used to accurately model coupling efficiency under realistic alignment conditions, explore the impact of misalignments and custom optical components, and learn how advanced modeling can inform robust, cost-effective design decisions. The session will highlight practical results, customization options, and strategies for optimizing coupling in next-generation photonic systems.
