Abstract

An integrated optical component is proposed, which has an optical component coupled to a waveguide. A buffer layer is provided for improving the coupling. The integrated optical component is produced with the aid of molding techniques. In the process an optical component is placed on a molding die and is adjustedly arranged on a waveguide by means of adjusting tabs. Following molding and removal of the molding die, the optical component is disposed, adjusted in respect to a waveguide, in a substrate plate. The waveguide is filled with a polymer and covered with a cover plate.
