Abstract

Un dispositif (10) de couplage de rayonnement comprend un guide d'ondes diviseur de faisceau, multimode et rectangulaire (20), connecté, au niveau d'une extrémité, à un ensemble de guides d'ondes d'entrée (18). Des guides d'ondes respectifs (22) en fibre optique sont insérés dans les guides d'ondes d'entrée (18). Ces derniers sont connectés selon les positions périodiques à travers la section transversale du guide d'ondes diviseur de faisceau. Ce dernier (20) est également connecté, au niveau de son autre extrémité, à un miroir rétroréfléchissant (24). Un rayonnement se propageant en mode fondamental dans n'importe lequel des guides d'ondes d'entrée (18) passe le long du guide d'onde diviseur de faisceau (20), et est rétroréfléchi par le miroir (24). En retournant, il est divisé entre les guides d'ondes d'entrée (18) en raison de la dispersion modale dans le guide d'ondes diviseur de faisceau (20). Le dispositif (10) agit ainsi comme un coupleur en étoile.
