Abstract

Method for optimizing a path length of an optical guide and optical guide obtained by this method. This method for optimizing an optical guide with a nominal width Po having at any point a variable and continuous curve C and a widening .delta.p with respect to this width Po is characterized in that it comprises a definition stage for widening .delta.p the guide as a variable function f of the curve C, this function .delta.p=f(C) being a continuous function.
