The device for interferometric recombination of electromagnetic beams includes one or more modules each including: at least one splitter assembly (31) incorporating a beam splitter (5) provided with interceptor means positioned to split an incident beam into portions, one of said portions (f1) passing through the splitter via an aperture provided for that purpose and another portion at least being intercepted by a surface prepared either to reflect it in a determined direction or alternatively to absorb it; at least one coupler (42) arranged to recombine the beams that it receives interferometrically, this coupler being obtained by localized splicing of waveguides in accordance with an X or Y structure, each waveguide receiving a beam from a different collector, at least one of the beams corresponding to one of the portions resulting from the splitting effected by a beam splitter.
