Abstract

A coupling device for the coupling in and/or the coupling out of electromagnetic waves, into and respectively out of a transmitting or receiving element, for example, from an optical wave guide, with a reflecting surface ( 8 ). In order to provide the coupling device to permit the routing and the imaging of light in the most confined of spaces with as little loss as possible, it is proposed that the reflecting surface ( 8 ) is curved, and at the same time, the coupling device is easy to align and inexpensive to manufacture. Included is a method for manufacturing the coupling device, wherein the reflecting surface ( 8 ) is manufactured as part of a surface of revolution with a conic section as the generating profile curve.
