contents We investigate the Dirichlet Laplacian in two spatial waveguides coupled through an elliptic window. The elliptic geometry breaks rotational symmetry and introduces anisotropy through the semi-axes of the aperture, which modifies the coupling of transverse modes and the low-lying spectrum. We prove that the operator has a finite number of discrete eigenvalues below the threshold of the essential spectrum and study their dependence on the geometric parameters of the ellipse. In contrast to the circular case, the elliptic setting gives rise to spectral effects such as eigenvalue splitting. Numerical simulations illustrate the variation of the first eigenvalues and the ground state with the window geometry.
