Claim Text:
1. An optical connector comprising: an optical fiber line fixing block comprising an insertion groove in which an end portion of an optical fiber line is inserted; and a submount comprising a single plane on which the optical fiber line fixing block and an optical device to be connected to the optical fiber line are disposed together, and comprising first guide-walls determining a position of the optical fiber line fixing block by surrounding the optical fiber line fixing block and second guide-walls determining a position of an optical device by surrounding the optical device, wherein the optical fiber line fixing block and the optical device are automatically aligned by the first guide-walls and the second guide-walls, wherein the insertion groove is a gap formed between a plurality of third guide-walls formed of different materials from the optical fiber line fixing block and protrude from the optical fiber line fixing block, wherein the first guide-walls and the second guide-walls are formed of different materials from the submount and protrude from the single plane of the submount, wherein the first guide-walls and the second guide-walls are located at positions outside an optical path connecting the optical fiber line and the optical device, wherein the optical connector further comprises a reflection plate disposed on an end portion of the optical fiber line, and a support disposed on an upper portion of the optical device so as to support the reflection plate, wherein an angle of the reflection plate with respect to a longitudinal end surface of the optical fiber line is a function of the position of the support.
