Abstract:
1. An integrated-optics coupling component, designed to adapt a light source to a guided optics element and comprising an optics substrate, wherein are formed waveguides and successively an input guide zone arranged facing the source, an output zone comprising at least one, monomode, output waveguide, narrower than the input guide zone, and filtering means comprising at least one adiabatic tapering zone connecting the input guide zone and the output zone, component characterized in that the input guide zone defines a diffraction zone of predetermined length between the input of the component and an observation plane, at least two filtering windows, arranged at predetermined locations of the observation plane, constituting the inputs of the adiabatic tapering zones, so as to guide a light wave from the source to the output zone while selecting one of the modes of said wave.
