Assembly of a circuit chip optical integrated on a flat - the form of connection of optical fibers to form a miniature optical component.

摘要

The invention relates to a miniature optical component formed by the assembly of an integrated circuit chip (1) comprising the optical waveguides (2), on a flat - shape (3) for connection to the optical fibers (5 ′, 5 "), the fibers being positioned and aligned in parallel grooves (4 ', 4") formed in the form of flat -. The present invention provides that: - the surface of the flat - shape (3) is formed of microstructures female (30) in the form of slots axial dimensions sub - millimeter and in that, - the face of the chip (1) comprises microstructures projecting male (10) formed by metallic deposition, able to fit and to slide axially in the microstructures female (30), during the assembly of the component. The present invention also provides a method of assembling such a miniature optical component and a method of manufacturing a matrix of a flat - shape and a device of the matrix.
