High speed, high capacity optical communication systems will possess            integrated optical or optoelectronic circuits and devices connected to          single mode optical fibers.  Tapered transitions in integrated optics           are important for improving interconnect losses between integrated              optical devices of different dimensions as well as integrated optical           devices and single mode fibers.  Existing perturbation techniques will          be extended to analyze radiation losses at step discontinuities in              asymmetrical waveguides.  This analytical work will be general enough           to accommodate not only waveguide tapers but also axial inhomogeneities         such as index and width variations as well as bends in the wave guides.
