Abstract: An optical pump device including a pump source optically connected to an optical divider including one input channel and n output channels. 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: A 2 to n divider with integrated optics, where n is an integer greater than or equal to 2, including at least one 2 to 2 optical divider element in a substrate. The optical divider element comprises a first and a second guide with widths equal to W1 and W2, respectively. The first and second guides are suitable for dividing an input light wave input into one of the guides, into a first and second output wave transported by the first and second guides respectively according to a determined division ratio. These first and second guides have at least three parts. A first part where the first and second guides move toward each other, a second part where the first and second guides are approximately parallel to each other and a third part where the first and second guides gradually separate from each other.
