Claim 0:
1. An optical connection structure for coupling a first optical waveguide and a second optical waveguide having different mode fields, the optical connection structure comprising:
an optical body in a propagation path of light between the first optical waveguide and the second optical waveguide and configured to change a course of radiation mode light emitted from the first optical waveguide and propagating in a direction away from an optical axis thereof to obtain waveguide mode light passing through the optical body, wherein the optical body is supported by a bridge body bridging between the first optical waveguide and the second optical waveguide via a support comprising a first support and a second support facing each other along the optical axis of the optical body, wherein the optical body is at first end parts of the first support and the second support and second end parts of the first support and the second support are joined to the bridge body.
