摘要 |
<p>The invention concerns a device for transmitting optical waves comprising a structure having at least an optical guide means wherein the structure comprises hollow parts or notches (9, 10) adapted to receive the end parts (13, 14) of an optical fibre (12) such that said fibre spans the surface (11a) of the structure separating said hollow parts and the ends of the optical fibre are respectively optically coupled to optical guide means (7, 8) of said structure. The invention also concerns a method for making such a device which consists in etching the notch by cutting off the end of the optical micro-guide. The device is useful for producing optical switches.</p> |
