ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to an optical device with an integrated structure for transporting at least one optical wave. The inventive device comprises at least one primary optical guiding means and at least two secondary optical guiding means which cut through the primary guiding means at junctions; a channel which passes through said junctions; a fluid section which fills at least one portion of said channel and which comprises one segment of a primary fluid, which can reflect the optical wave to be transported, and, on either side of said segment, a secondary fluid through which the optical wave can pass; means for moving said fluid section so as to direct selectively the primary fluid segment through said junctions; the channel passes through said junctions in such a way that, when the primary fluid segment is disposed in a selected junction, the transported optical wave is deviated from the primary optical guiding means towards the corresponding secondary optical guiding means, or vice versa.
