Abstract
A system for providing a conduit for light to travel between an optical fiber and a photodiode includes a tapered light coupler. A first portion of the tapered light coupler is configured to receive light from at least one optical fiber and includes a tapered region that is tapered toward a tapered end. A second portion of the tapered light coupler is coupled to and extending from the tapered end of the first portion at a junction forming an ordinary angle. The second portion includes a tapered region that is tapered toward a distal end and is configured to transfer light from the distal end to a photodiode that has a smaller surface area than a cross sectional area of the at least one optical fiber. The tapered light coupler includes a slanted surface at an exterior of the junction.
