Abstract
An optoelectronic component including an optical waveguide integrated into a plane of the component. The optical waveguide configured to guide optical radiation in the plane. The component including a coupling element connected to the waveguide and coupling optical radiation into the waveguide along the main coupling path. The degree of coupling efficiency of the coupling element is less than one in respect to the main coupling path. The coupling element outputs optical loss radiation along a secondary coupling path. The optical loss radiation is proportional to the radiation transferred along the main coupling path. The optoelectronic component includes a detector connected to the coupling element that registers the optical loss radiation and produces a detector signal. The optoelectronic component includes a control unit configured to influence at least one operating variable of the optoelectronic component based on the detector signal.
