Device including a flush-mounted optoelectronic element covered by a waveguide

摘要

The component (1) has waveguides (7-10) interposed between corresponding photodiodes (3-6) and an optical fiber. The waveguides and the photodiodes are formed on a same substrate. Each waveguide has an end which partially covers an active surface of the corresponding photodiode. Each waveguide is coupled to the corresponding active surface by a Bragg grating inscribed in the waveguide. An independent claim is also included for a method for fabricating a component including an optoelectronic unit.
