A coupling element ( 3 ) and a waveguide structure ( 4 ) are deposited on a common substrate ( 2 ) of an optical component ( 1 ). The coupling element ( 3 ) serves for the optical coupling of the waveguide structures ( 4 ) to a further optical component. The coupling element ( 3 ) contains a reflecting, curved surface ( 31.1 - 31.8 ) for deflecting and for collimation of light which propagates between the waveguide structure 4 and the further optical component. The coupling element ( 3 ) creates a standard for interfaces between the optical component ( 1 ) and a further optical component. The manufacture of the coupling element ( 3 ) is simple and inexpensive, may be standardized and directed to large batch numbers.
