Abstract

The present invention relates to an optical waveguide (1) comprising a transition portion in at least one connection end for connection with an optical component. The transition portion is arranged in such a way that the waveguide at first changes over into a widening portion (15) which in turn changes over into a tooth structure (10), where said tooth structure (10) is intended to be connected to said optical component.
