Abstract

La présente invention concerne un guide d'ondes optique permettant de réduire, non seulement la largeur de nervure d'un guide d'ondes optique à nervure, et ce, de façon monotone, mais aussi l'épaisseur d'une partie en forme de barre ou de plaque. Au niveau de la zone de raccordement entre le guide d'ondes à nervure et un guide d'onde optique à canal, la largeur et l'épaisseur de la barre ou de la plaque du guide d'ondes à nervure sont ramenées à celles du cœur du guide d'ondes optique à canal. Dans cette zone de raccordement, les formes en coupe du guide d'ondes à nervure et du guide d'onde optique à canal sont identiques, si bien que la forme du champ de mode du guide d'ondes optique à nervure correspond presque à celle du guide d'ondes optique à canal. L'invention permet ainsi un raccordement entre guide d'ondes optique à canal et guide d'ondes optique à nervure n'occasionnant qu'une faible perte, tout en profitant de la complémentarité entre les caractéristiques des guides d'ondes à nervure et celles du guide d'onde optique à canal.
