Abstract:
A photonic chip includes a connecting means, a substrate, and a waveguide layer. The photonic integrated waveguide and the optical fiber each have a front end portion. The connecting means includes a groove configured to receive the front end portion of the optical fiber. The groove is essentially U-shaped in its cross section, and the groove has a bottom surface and two inner side surfaces. A least one of both inner side surfaces of the U-shaped groove has a coating of an elastic material configured to hold in place the optical fiber after it is inserted into the groove. The invention further relates to an optical device which includes a photonic chip and an optical fiber, as well as a method or production of such a photonic chip.

Claim (Index 5):
The photonic chip of  claim 1 , wherein the inner side surfaces of the U-shaped groove have an essentially constant distance which is greater than the diameter of the end portion of the optical fiber and wherein the coating(s) of the inner side surface(s) has/have essentially constant thickness(es) chosen in such a way that the distance of the inner side surfaces after coating is smaller than the diameter of the front end portion of the optical fiber.
