Abstract
The integrated optical component having a glass substrate including integrated optical waveguides wherein the substrate further includes longitudinal grooves at opposite ends of the central portion thereof, which longitudinal grooves are obtained by machining, using the terminal portions of the waveguides extending beyond said central portion as marks for determining the line of machining, together with two transverse grooves on either side of the central portion of the substrate, with the two grooves being separated by a rib whose height is rectified so as to support each fiber to be connected to a waveguide that opens on the same side as the rib.
