Abstract
Embodiments are disclosed for a coupling element with embedded modal filtering for a laser and/or a photodiode. An example system includes a laser and an optical coupling element. The laser is configured to emit an optical signal. The optical coupling element is configured to receive the optical signal emitted by the laser. The optical coupling element is also configured to be connected to an optical fiber such that, in operation, the optical signal is transmitted from the laser to the optical fiber via the optical coupling element. Furthermore, the coupling element comprises a tapered section that provides modal filtering of the optical signal.
