Thermo-mechanical analysis of a cantilever mode converter between single-mode fiber and Si waveguide

We study temperature-induced stresses and misalignments in a cantilevered mode converter used to couple light between single-mode fiber and a PIC. We show that the design with UV-cured epoxy as index-matching clad exhibits higher stresses and larger displacements.
