The invention relates to an array of waveguides () comprising a set of coupled waveguides that are substantially parallel and oriented in a guidance direction (Y), the set of waveguides comprising a first zone () formed by waveguides coupled according to a first coupling coefficient, and a second zone () formed by waveguides coupled according to a second coupling coefficient that is different from the first coupling coefficient, characterized in that the second coupling coefficient is different from the first coupling coefficient in the guidance direction and in the direction (X) perpendicular to the guidance direction.

Array of waveguides making it possible to deflect a light beam

The invention relates to an optical component including an array of coupled waveguides, wherein said waveguide array includes: a first area made of parallel waveguides coupled according to a first coupling coefficient; a second area adjacent to the first area and made of parallel waveguides coupled according to a second coupling coefficient lower than the first coupling coefficient; a third area adjacent to the second area and made of parallel waveguides coupled according to a third coupling coefficient higher than the second coupling coefficient; a fourth area adjacent to the third area and made of parallel waveguides coupled according to a fourth coupling coefficient lower than the third coupling coefficient; and a fifth area adjacent to the fourth area and made of parallel waveguides coupled according to a fifth coupling coefficient higher than the fourth coupling coefficient.
