Summary: 
The effect of planar waveguide with conductor cladding (PWGCC) on evanescent coupling with a side-polished fiber is investigated using the three-dimensional finite difference beam propagation method (3D FD-BPM). The coupling and propagation of light were found to depend on the relationship between the refractive index values of each structure and the configuration of the side-polished fiber used in the PWGCC.
