SUPERLUMINESCENT LED WITH EFFICIENT COUPLING TO OPTICAL WAVEGUIDE Abstract of the Disclosure Optical power is coupled into an optical waveguide system such as an optical fiber with maximum efficiency by a superluminescent light-emitting diode having lateral confinement of the light in the junction plane. The waveguide developed in the light-emitting diode is constructed to have an effective numerical aperture equal to the numerical aperture of the optical waveguide, and the refractive index n, the length L and width D of the waveguide in the diode is constructed such that the parameter nD/2L is much less than the numerical aperture. As a result, the inverted population of electrons within the active region are utilized with maximum efficiency to develop rays that are coupled into, and can be guided by, the optical waveguide system.
