Abstract

A method for producing a cover for an integrated optical circuit, and an integrated optical circuit produced with this cover. The method minimizes the effort for the integration of optical components into fiber-optic systems by automatically positioning an optical component placed onto a mold punch. A liquid that can harden is poured around the optical component and the mold punch, and after this solidifies, it forms the cover.
