Abstract:
The invention relates to an optical device ( 100 ) comprising: a waveguide ( 200 ) comprising a core ( 210 ) extending along an axis of symmetry XX′, and encapsulated in a cladding layer ( 220 ), an actuator ( 400 ) with width L a , overlapping the core ( 210 ) and extending along an axis of symmetry YY′ parallel to the axis of symmetry XX′, said actuator ( 400 ) is designed so that when a voltage is applied to it, it imposes a mechanical stress at the core ( 210 ) to modify its refraction index the device being characterised in that the second axis of symmetry YY′ is offset by a lateral offset D from a plane of symmetry of the waveguide ( 200 ) including the first axis of symmetry and perpendicular to the cladding layer ( 220 ), the lateral offset is between 15% and 50% of the width L a .

Claim (Index 1):
Optical device ( 100 ) comprising:\n a waveguide ( 200 ) comprising a core ( 210 ) extending along a first axis of symmetry XX\u2032, and encapsulated in a cladding layer ( 220 ) provided with two essentially parallel principal faces, called front face ( 220 a ) and back face ( 220 b ) respectively, an actuator ( 400 ) with width L a , located on the front face and at least partly overlapping the core ( 210 ) and extending along a second axis of symmetry YY\u2032 essentially parallel to the first axis of symmetry XX\u2032, said actuator ( 400 ) is designed so that when an electric field is applied to it, it imposes a mechanical stress at the core ( 210 ) to modify its refraction index the device being characterised in that the second axis of symmetry YY\u2032 is offset laterally by an offset called the lateral offset D, from a plane of symmetry of the waveguide ( 200 ) including the first axis of symmetry and perpendicular to the principal faces of the cladding layer ( 220 ), and in that the lateral offset D is between 15% and 50% of the width L a .
