Claim 14:
15. The optical connection structure according to claim 8, further comprising:
a second alignment optical waveguide longitudinally extending between a first end and an opposing second end having a core with an optical axis direction, the second end of the second alignment optical waveguide being disposed at the optical waveguide edge face; and
a second light path changing member disposed at the first end of the second alignment optical waveguide, the second light path changing member being configured to change a path of light extending along the optical axis direction of the core of the second alignment optical waveguide to a direction perpendicular to the optical axis direction of the core of the second alignment optical waveguide, the second light path changing member being separate and spaced apart from the first light path changing member.
