The field of the invention is that of optoelectronic components with a
buried stripe structure. The optoelectronic device according to the
invention is a stripe structure, comprising at least one buried waveguide
and a layer called a grating layer in the form of an elongate stripe
comprising features, each feature having an approximately rectangular
shape, the length of the feature being substantially perpendicular to the
direction of the length of the stripe of the grating layer, the layer
being placed so as to provide optical coupling with an optical wave
propagating in the waveguide, the length of certain features being
substantially less than the width of the waveguide.
