Abstract
Optical beam forming at the inputs/outputs of a photonic chip and to the spectral broadening of the light coupled to the chip. The photonic chip comprises an optical waveguide layer supported on a substrate. The chip includes an optical waveguide structure made of silicon and a coupling surface grating. The photonic chip has a front face on the side facing the coupling surface grating and a rear face on the side facing the substrate. A reflecting collimation structure is integrated in the rear face to modify the mode size of an incident light beam. The coupling surface grating is designed to receive light from the optical waveguide structure and to form a light beam directed to the reflecting collimation structure. The invention further relates to the method for producing such a chip.
