Faserbefestigungsmittel für eine integriert-optische Komponente.

摘要

An integrated optical component comprising at least one waveguide integrated into a substrate (1) and connected to the end of an optical fiber (2) which is attached to the substrate at said fiber end and in an region separated from said fiber end by a first drop (7) of adhesive and a second drop (8) of adhesive, respectively. The adhesive product which constitutes the first drop has a glass transition temperature located in a predetermined operating temperature range of the component, while the adhesive product which constitutes the second drop has a glass transition temperature located generally above this operating temperature range, thereby assuring the absorption of differential expansions in such a way as to maintain the optical continuity of the fiber/waveguide attachment and the mechanical strength of the fiber/substrate attachment.
