Abstract
A process and device for connecting an optical fibre and an integrated optical component comprising a wave guide. The fibre and the component each have an end adapted for connection. The component is attached to a main support. The fibre is attached to a fibre support so that the end of the fibre extends beyond such fibre support. The end of the fibre is attached to the end of the component so as to allow light to pass from the fibre to the component and conversely. Then the fibre support and the main support are rigidly connected to each other.
