Abstract

For some years, the society "Alliance Technique Industrielle" and the "Laboratoire d'Optique des Surfaces et des Couches Minces" have developed jointly passive components for optoelectronics. It mainly concerns multi-demultiplexers and couplers. The original feature and the interest of the developed systems result from the fact that: - the coatings used to obtain selective optical properties (transmission versus wavelength) are deposited directly on the ends of the fibers. - after coating, the fibers are directly fitted together without any additional optical part.
