Using the WKB approximation, we generalize Ulrich’s solution to the optimum coupling efficiency of a prism-waveguide coupler, so that it can be applied to a waveguide with an arbitrary refractive-index profile. As an example, we give an analytic solution to a waveguide having an exponential refractive-index profile.
