Elimination of cross talk in optical directional couplers

Waveguide directional couplers may suffer from incomplete isolation between channels due to unequal excitation of symmetric and antisymmetric coupler modes. This letter shows that tapering may be used to eliminate cross talk while maintaining negligible radiation and reflection loss.
