INTEGRATED PHOTONIC CIRCUIT FITTED WITH MEANS FOR INTERCONNECTION WITH ADD-ON OPTOELECTRONIC COMPONENTS

摘要

The invention relates to an integrated photonic circuit comprising a substrate (1) comprising at least one optical circuit (4) and means (2,3) for interconnecting the optical circuit with at least one optoelectronic component (6, 8, 9, 11, 12) which is added onto the substrate. The interconnecting means comprise at least one substrate area wherein the index of refraction is modified in order to ensure said interconnection. The area of the substrate comprises at least one lens with an index gradient.
