Abstract

A hermetic coupling device between an optoelectronic component emitting and/or receiving a light beam, and an optical transmission mechanism conveying the light beam. The hermetic coupling device includes a substrate including a blind hole, having a bottom wall, into which one part of the optical transmission mechanism is inserted. The substrate is formed of a stack of a first layer and a second layer. The light beam crosses the substrate passing through the bottom wall of the blind hole, the substrate receiving the optoelectronic component substantially opposite the blind hole. Reflective patterns are inserted between two layers of the hermetic coupling device, substantially on the periphery of the blind hole, and reflect one part of the light beam emitted by the optoelectronic component.
