ABSTRACT:
Device for connecting at least one optical fiber to at least one integrated-optics waveguide which is formed within a substrate at a predetermined distance from one of the faces of the substrate constituting a reference plane, including a receptacle (2) capable of receiving the terminal portion of the optical fiber (8) and a planar support (3) capable of receiving the substrate (9) applied against said support (3) through its reference plane (9a), the receptacle (2) and the support (3) being arranged in such a manner that the axis of the waveguide (10) and the axis of the optical fiber (8) are situated in one and the same plane parallel to the reference plane (9a) of the substrate (9). It further includes a removable lateral abutment (5) capable of being positioned against the support (3) and against which the substrate (9) bears when it is accommodated within the support (3), said lateral abutment (5) being dimensioned in such a manner as to set the substrate (9) in a position in which the axis of the waveguide (10) coincides with that of the optical fiber (8).
