In the frame of ESA's DARWIN mission technological studies, Alcatel Space, supported by ESA, is designing and manufacturing a nulling interferometer whose aim is to demonstrate in laboratory the extinction of a point source with a stable nulling ratio of 10-6. This breadboard is presented with emphasis on the integrated optics beam combiner.
