PCT No. PCT/US96/01931 Sec. 371 Date Aug. 18, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Aug. 18, 1997 PCT Filed Feb. 13, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO96/25679 PCT Pub. Date Aug. 22, 1996The optical component [4] consists of a substrate made of an optical material that carries at least one integrated waveguide and that is extended beyond the said substrate by optical fibers exiting from the protective housing [1] [3] for the component. The housing defines a closed internal cavity [2] in which the said component [4] is placed. In accordance with the invention, the said cavity [2] is sized such as to hold the component [4] with a certain amount of play [ji] that prevents any significant transmission of stresses between the housing [1] [3] and the component [4].
