Roughly described, an optical device includes a first waveguide having a first core sheathed by a first cladding, and a second waveguide having a second core. A terminal portion of second core is disposed under a terminal portion of the first core and sheathed by the first core. The refractive index of the second core is higher than that of the first core, and the index of the first core, at least in the terminal portion of the first waveguide, is higher than that of the first cladding. The second core is structured under the terminal portion of the first core so that light traveling in the second core and directed toward the end of the second core is guided along the second core and coupled into the first core, and vice-versa.
