Abstract
A process for mounting of an optical fiber (1) on a substrate (2) and for optical coupling between this fiber and an optical or optoelectronic element (17) or component such as a waveguide, a receiver or an emitter formed or carried on the front face (5) by the substrate, consisting in inserting the end of an optical fiber (1) into a through orifice (6) formed in the substrate (2) engaging it by the rear face of the substrate, in sealing the end of the optical fiber in said orifice, and in forming on the path of the optical wave a deflecting facet (18) such that the optical wave originating from the optical fiber is deflected by this facet towards said element or component (17), or vice versa.
