Abstract:
An integrated optical component has an optical component coupled to a waveguide. A buffer layer improves coupling. The integrated optical component is produced by modelling techniques. An optical component is laid on a modelling die and adjusted on a waveguide by means of adjusting lugs. After modelling and once the modelling die is removed, the optical component is adjusted in relation to a waveguide in a support plate. The waveguide is filled with a polymer and covered with a covering plate.
Abstract:
L'invention concerne un procédé servant à fabriquer un circuit optique intégré de manière hybride. Selon le procédé on utilise un outil de façonnage (39) muni de dispositifs de formation de logement (4) pour un composant semi-conducteur électro-optique (2) et de moules négatifs (5) pour un canal de guide d'ondes (9) et de dispositifs de formation de logement (12) pour un guide d'ondes lumineuses (10). Les dispositifs de formation de logement (4) de l'outil de façonnage (3) ajustent le composant semi-conducteur (2) électro-optique par rapport au moule négatif (5) du canal de guide d'ondes (9) lors du formage avec un polymère. L'unité structurale (13) obtenue se compose du composant semi-conducteur (2) électro-optique qui est ajusté par rapport au canal de guide d'ondes (9) formé dans le polymère. Des dispositifs de formation de logement (6) façonnés dans le polymère sont raccordés au canal de guide d'ondes (9) et permettent d'accoupler par auto-ajustage un guide d'ondes lumineuses (10) au canal de guide d'ondes. L'unité structurale (13) et le guide d'ondes lumineuses (10) sont accouplés solidement l'un à l'autre au moyen d'un revêtement (7), le canal du guide d'ondes (9) étant rempli avec un matériau optiquement transparent, ce qui constitue un guide d'ondes (20).

Abstract:
A prism/lens array (25) in the present invention is a grass prism having an approximately 45 degrees tapered part. A plurality of lenses (31) are provided side by side on the front surface of the prism/lens array (25). A pair of protrusions (33) are formed on both sides of lenses (31) on the surface on which the lenses (31) are provided. The protrusions (33) are formed in the top-bottom direction of the prism/lens array (25) and roughly V-shaped cross sections. Grooves (35) are provided in an inside surface of a prism-securing part (19), in areas corresponding to the protrusions (33). The grooves (33) are shaped such that the protrusions (33) can fit into the grooves; for example, the grooves could have roughly V-shaped cross sections.
