ABSTRACT:
A coupling element (3) and a waveguide structure (4) are deposited on a common substrate (2) of an optical component (1). The coupling element (3) serves for the optical coupling of the waveguide structures (4) to a further optical component. The coupling element (3) contains a reflecting, curved surface (31.1-31.8) for deflecting and for collimation of light which propagates between the waveguide structure4and the further optical component. The coupling element (3) creates a standard for interfaces between the optical component (1) and a further optical component. The manufacture of the coupling element (3) is simple and inexpensive, may be standardized and directed to large batch numbers.
