An integrated photonic component (1) is provided with improved centering of an optical field image of a wavelength division multiplexing, WDM, optical output signal and a common output waveguide (8). In this way an efficient power coupling of the laser diodes of the integrated photonic component to the common output waveguide is achievable. Also provided is a photonic integrated circuit, PIC, for use in a WDM optical communication system, the PIC including the integrated photonic component. A method of improving centering of an optical field image of a WDM signal and a common output waveguide of at least one of the integrated photonic component and the PIC are also described.
