  • Patent number: 7590318
    Abstract: The field of the invention is that of optoelectronic components with a buried stripe structure. The optoelectronic device according to the invention is a stripe structure, comprising at least one buried waveguide and a layer called a grating layer in the form of an elongate stripe comprising features, each feature having an approximately rectangular shape, the length of the feature being substantially perpendicular to the direction of the length of the stripe of the grating layer, the layer being placed so as to provide optical coupling with an optical wave propagating in the waveguide, the length of certain features being substantially less than the width of the waveguide.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 21, 2007
    Date of Patent: September 15, 2009
    Assignees: Alcatel Lucent, Thales
    Inventors: Alain Accard, Olivier Drisse, Béatrice Dagens, Hélène Sillard

  • Patent number: 6411763
    Abstract: An integrated optical component having a first section (S1) including a wave guide (10) perpendicular to an output facet (P) of the component, a termination (T) of the wave guide being coupled to this facet, and including a second section (S2) upstream from the first section and capable of being interfered with by the signal reflected by the said facet and guided by the wave guide. The guide termination (T) includes an inclined guiding section (13) and a laterally non-guiding section (14) leading to this facet (P).
