Abstract
(EN) This invention pertains to a device (10) and method for making same. The device (10) includes a substrate (12) suitable for supporting pathways for optical signals; separate pathways disposed on the substrate (12) suitable for propagating optical signals, the pathways including an input and an output optical pathway; and a reflective surface in operative contact with the input and output pathways for receiving an optical signal from the input pathway and reflecting the optical signal into the output pathway. The method for making the device (10) includes the steps of providing two separate optical pathways on a single substrate (12), one being an input pathway and the other being an output pathway.
(FR) La présente invention se rapporte à un dispositif et à un procédé de fabrication de ce dispositif. Ledit dispositif comprend un substrat conçu pour supporter des voies pour signaux optiques; des voies séparées disposées sur le substrat permettant la propagation de signaux optiques, lesdites voies incluant une voie optique d'entrée et une voie optique de sortie; et une surface réfléchissante en contact fonctionnel avec les voies d'entrée et de sortie de manière à recevoir un signal optique à partir de la voie d'entrée et à réfléchir le signal optique dans la voie de sortie. Le procédé de fabrication de ce dispositif comprend les étapes consistant à former deux voies optiques séparées sur un substrat unique, l'une étant une voie d'entrée et l'autre étant une voie de sortie; à se doter d'une surface réfléchissante en contact fonctionnel avec lesdites voies de sorte qu'un signal optique d'entrée pénètre par la voie d'entrée, soit réfléchi par la surface réfléchissante vers l'intérieur de la voie de sortie, et soit transmis vers l'extérieur par la voie de sortie, ledit dispositif pouvant être fabriqué sur un substrat en niobate de lithium ayant des voies obtenues par diffusion de titane avec une perte inférieure ou égale à environ 1,0 dB, dans un espace qui est au moins 1/5 de l'espace requis par un dispositif identique ou similaire conforme l'état antérieur de la technique.
