Abstract: The integrated-optics coupling component is designed to cooperate with a transverse multimode power laser diode (2) with semi-conductor to form a transverse multimode power laser. It comprises an input zone (4) connected to at least one output waveguide (6) by at least two adiabatic tapering zones (5). At least two filtering windows (7) form the inputs of the adiabatic tapering zones (5) at the end of a diffraction zone defined by the input zone. Reflecting elements, for example a Bragg grating (12), can be arranged on the output waveguide. An emitting face (3) being antiglare-treated, an extended laser cavity oscillating on a single predetermined mode is thus defined between a reflecting rear face (11) of the laser diode and the reflecting elements (12).

The input channel is configured to receive a pump wave derived from the source and the n output channels are configured to output n pump waves, where n is an integer greater than 1. The pump device can be used in an optical amplification device. The device has applications in all domains in which several optical pumps are necessary, and more particularly in the domain of optical telecommunications, and for example for optical amplifiers.

Abstract: In order to ensure the conformance of a structure to its original specification, to regenerate a structure in accordance with technological developments, or to compare a structure to another known structure, a process for analyzing an entire physical structure(21) includes a step(16) for executing set-based operations on subsets of the structure and producing a display of these subsets in statistical, structural or functional form.
