Abstract

L'invention a pour objet un guide d'ondes optiques 10 possédant une âme de verre 20 et un revêtement polymère 30, au moins une partie terminale de l'âme de verre étant débarrassée du revêtement et gainée d'un dispositif de terminaison comportant un premier manchon 40 s'étendant au-dessus de l'extrémité libre de l'âme et fixé à la surface du verre de celle-ci ayant un indice de réfraction inférieur à celui de la surface du verre et un second manchon 50 radialement à l'extérieur et recouvrant le premier manchon et l'extrémité du revêtement polymère, de telle sorte que l'extrémité de l'âme débarrassée du revetement soit positivement positionnée coaxialement au dispositif de terminaison et exempte de contraintes.The invention relates to an optical waveguide 10 having a glass core 20 and a polymer coating 30, at least one end portion of the glass core being stripped of the coating and sheathed with a termination device comprising a first sleeve 40 extending above the free end of the core and attached to the lens surface thereof having a refractive index lower than that of the lens surface and a second sleeve 50 radially to the core 'exterior and covering the first sleeve and the end of the polymer coating, such that the end of the core stripped of the coating is positively positioned coaxially with the termination device and free from constraints.
