ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a compact optical structure comprising a semiconductor emitter junction, a laser or a light emitting diode, coupled to a plane waveguide formed by a layer of photo-polymer deposited on a substrate with a suitable index. A surface layer, of photo-polymer for example, enables the registration of photo-induced diffraction structures performing particular optical functions such as that of a distributed reflector, deflector or lens. Such compact structures are applicable, in particular to the designing of simple, small devices, laser sources with distributed external resonators, interferometric gyrometers, hydrophones, multiplexers or demultiplexers.
